Not quite a rose but definitely not a traditional red, Groundwork’s Counoise is a vibrant and fun wine made from a Rhone varietal that has historically been used as a blending grape, that’s vinified through a process called carbonic maceration. Without going into too much detail, this is a method by which grapes are vinified to bring out a little more fruit as well as to soften the tannic structure of a wine. Energetic and fun, this bursts with notes of strawberry, cranberry, white pepper, and even a little rhubarb, believe it or not. Serve this one chilled for a delightful treat.
