Tasting Notes Pale salmon in hue, classy and vibrant with aromatics of pink grapefruit, fresh strawberry, watermelon rind, rose petal, candied orange peel concentrated with a refreshing line of minerality and zippy citrus finish. The Grenache grapes for this wine were picked with the intention to make a Rosé and its expression showcases this.. This Rosé is made from 100% Grenache.

Vineyard This Rose is made from Grenache harvested from the Algerfield Vineyard in the Sonoma Valley . A stoney bit of ground on the west side of the Sonoma Valley, planted to Grenache and Cannonau, which is a Grenache clone from Sardinia. It was farmed specifically for our Rosé production and I couldn’t be happier with the results. 2023 was a very cool growing season and the fruit for this Rosé hung on the vine for an additional 32 days longer than the previous year. Which created wonderful fruit notes with prefect, balanced acidity.

Winemaking The fruit was picked the night of October 8th and arrived at the winery bright and early were it was whole cluster pressed into a various stainless steel tanks, allowing it to be cold settled for two days. After the grape solids had fallen out and settled out of solution, I racked this wine to stainless steal drums, neutral French barrels, and tanks to ferment with native yeast. After the long, slow, cold fermentations were complete, the drums and various vessels where combined and the wine was settled and aged in tank to be filtered and bottled January 24th, 2024.
