This rosé is light as a feather, almost floating across the palate, with a beautiful clean finish. Subtle fruits, salty minerality, and refreshing acidity. Its citrusy aromas and clean flavors will complement the wonderful spring foods that show up on the table as the weather thaws.

Fruit is gently whole-cluster pressed and juice is settled in a cold tank for 24 hours, then fermented and aged “sur lees” in stainless steel barrels. After primary fermentation is complete, the stainless steel barrels are topped all the way and kept shut tight, no stirring or additional topping until bottling. Malolactic fermentation is prevented to preserve the natural acidity.
