Bio:
A chillable tasty morsel! It’s a light red or a dark rosé, depending on what you want it to be. Insteadof bottling direct-to-press classic rosé this year, I blended some red wine into the rosés to increase body and adjust the hue. It’s the first time I’ve ever done this, and I am very excited about the results. Long live Rosy Wake!
