Palate
Aromas of watermelon and hibiscus, accompanied by concentrated notes of rich, ripe strawberry on both the nose and palate, harmoniously coalesce with flavors of pomegranate to create a vibrant and bright dry rosé.
Growing Conditions
The 2023 growing season began with a mild but sunny spring, an early start with plenty of sun and heat throughout the summer, and moderate rain from mid-June through mid-August. We harvested early for sparkling and early ripening white wines, and that fruit showed great development and chemistry. We were then burdened with rain throughout October when it felt like we saw almost daily rainfall. Fortunately, most of the sensitive varieties were already in the winery. Our vineyard crews' dedication to canopy management is a big reason we get the quality fruit we do, even during challenging conditions. Early-released whites and rosés show broader than normal fruit profiles and a softer mouthfeel.
Food Pairing
This wine will shine with various appetizers, fresh salads, light pasta dishes, grilled fish or seafood—especially shrimp and salmon, plus much more!
