Rove Winery at the Gallagher Estate

Amidst the fusion of clay, gravel, and sandy loam, this exceptional varietal finds its home, drawing upon the diverse terroir to unveil its inherent complexity. Crafted in a dry style that exudes elegance, our Pinot Blanc entices the palate with the signature juicy fruit notes in the warm seasons. Yet, it is the subtle undertones of citrus that truly set this wine apart, particularly in the crisp embrace of cooler years.

The artistry of our Pinot Grigio and Pinot Gris wines begins amidst the sandy loam and gravel of our enchanting vineyard where this varietal is planted. Crafted with meticulous care, our Pinot Grigio style beckons you to embrace the warmth of sun-drenched days and the ethereal beauty of twilight. Revel in delicate blossoms tangy citrus peel, and the earthy essence of wet stone intertwine in a symphony of flavors that dance upon the palate.

Blending Cabernet Franc with Merlot can create a wine with enhanced complexity, balance, and depth. Cabernet Franc is known for its aromatic qualities, often contributing notes of violets, raspberries, and bell pepper, while Merlot tends to offer softer, fruitier flavors like plum, cherry, and chocolate. Blending the two in cool climate can create a wine with a more layered aroma, flavor, and textured profile.

Our reserve chardonnay has a complex barrel program of French oak, Austrian and Acacia. We often use a mixture of new barrels, used barrels, and neutral barrels during maturation to offer depth to the body. We believe in the old world methodology of soft malo influence. Most common note from vintage to vintage is tropical crème brûlée.

Nestled in the embrace of sandy loam, our prized vines stand tall, basking in the gentle caress of the southwest sun on what we affectionately refer to as the "Big Vineyard". Here, amidst this idyllic setting, flourishes a varietal that embodies both spice and floral notes. Whether enjoyed on its own as a single varietal or blended harmoniously with others, this grape holds a special place in our hearts and our winemaking philosophy.
