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 voluptuous
dry rosé.
Growing Conditions
The 2022 growing season was one we’d like to see every
year. We had a mild but sunny spring, plenty of sun and heat
throughout the summer, and a substantial drought extending
from mid-June through mid-August. We harvested early for
the sparkling wines, and that fruit showed great development
and chemistry. We had little rain in September, so disease
pressure remained lower than usual until mid-October. We
were burdened with more rain than was ideal for mid-season
harvesting. 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.
