Presentation
Presentation
The fruit for this wine was carefully selected from early ripening Grenache Noir and Cinsault vineyard sites that express ripe flavors at lower sugar levels. The fruit is gently handled and fermented at cool temperatures in the winery to ensure the wine has bright aromatics and fresh fruit flavors, without compromising the palate weight, texture and length.
Winemaking
The 2022 growing season was very warm and dry, allowing ripe fruit to be harvested at perfect ripeness and with excellent flavors. All grapes were crushed, pressed and settled for 48hrs prior to racking clean juice to cool fermentation in stainless steel tanks.

Tasting
Bright whiffs of candied red cherries and lilac introduce this fresh-faced, highly quaffable rosé made from 1/2 Grenache Noir augmented by the same amount of Cinsault. It offers a gorgeous mélange of upfront citrus, bright spring flowers and strawberry aromas that are framed by hints of crisp mouthwatering saline notes. Light bodied and struck by salty tangs of minerality, it's a solid, bang-for-your buck, finishing snappy and fresh and dry rosé destined for beachside sipping.
Food pairings
Best served chilled and enjoyed on warm summer days with fresh alfresco fare. Particularly perfect with summer salads, charcuterie and most seafood dishes, and smoked salmon.
