2022 Estate Rosé
Our refreshing Rose was grown in our new vineyard on the eastern side of the Santa Clara Valley just east of Gilroy that is carefully tended by George and Lynda Green. They meticulously farm their vineyard to maximize quality. The 2022 vintage was challenging starting with a two week plus heat wave with temperatures above 110 F. That was followed by weeks of below normal temperatures giving the vines a chance to recover.
Watermelon and orange blossom aromas are complimented with cherry, raspberry and strawberry fruit. This light, crisp wine is perfect for hot summer evenings. Pair with a grilled pork chop with cherry compote or just enjoy by itself
