2023 Rose of Grenache
Our 2023 Rosé is an elegant, brilliant salmon color with aromas of fresh strawberry, orange blossoms and dried herbs. On the palate, vibrant acidity couples with a complex fruit profile of ruby grapefruit and Rainier cherries. The small amount of Carignan added provides a hint of tartness and leads to a richly textured and energetic wine.
