Terroir:
This wine is made from 100% estate-grown fruit. Our vines are sheltered in the foothills of Carter’s Mountain in the Monticello American Viticultural Area (AVA). The red varieties were planted on the mountain’s southern exposure slopes, including the clay strata.
Winemaker's Notes:
This dry Rosé is made by direct pressing Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Merlot. This blending allows for maximum fruit expression while balancing freshness and acidity. Just after pressing, the juice ferments slowly in stainless steel tanks. Aging in 100% stainless steel preserves the wine’s freshness and aromas.
