Flamenco is the third wine produced from the collaboration between Stoney Ridge Estate Winery and The Tragically Hip. The creation of a traditionally dry style of Rosé was inspired by the

lyrics and music of ‘Flamenco’. A lessor known but critically acclaimed track on the band’s seminal “Trouble at the Henhouse’ album originally released in 1996.

 

The label artwork is a collaboration between the winery and band guitarist Rob Baker, who inspired the original wine label art as a reflection of the song and its reminiscence of Spanish flamenco dance and their signature guitars. A dry style Rosé for those hot afternoons

Tasting Notes:

A fresh and fruity Rosé crafted in the traditional Provence style with a bright salmon hue. The blending of Gamay and Pinot Noir grapes lend a fresh character to the wine with a forward nose of cranberry, floral hints, rose water, and guava. The palate is smoothly textured with expressive with flavours of sweet/sour cherry, rose petal, and white currants, ending with a subtle hint of sweetness balanced with vibrant acidity. Crisp and refreshing, this is truly summer in a bottle!

Winemaker Notes:

95% Gamay Noir harvested from old vines (1998 Planting) on the Bucknall Vineyard in the Vinemount Ridge sub appellation of Niagara and 5% Pinot Girgio from the Garrett Vineyard in Four Mile Creek. Grapes were harvested at an average of 19° brix and separately fermented in individual stainless-steel tanks under cool temperatures. This fermentation process follows the traditional French Saignée method for the Gamay portion, where the wine siphoned off the skins mid-ferment and finished as a white wine. After settling and fining, the final blend was assembled prior to bottling March 2024.
