2024 was a lovely all-around growing season, particularly for early-season grapes that benefited from dry weather and low humidity. Clean, healthy fruit came off the vine with excellent concentration and natural freshness.
This Rosé is crafted with intention. The Chambourcin grapes are gently pressed after harvest with no skin contact, achieving a beautiful color while avoiding extraction of phenolics, tannins, or bitterness from the skins and seeds. After pressing, the Chambourcin and Seyval Blanc juices are cold-settled for a week before being blended and fermented at low temperatures to preserve the delicate, hard-to-capture aromas that make this wine so expressive. Malolactic fermentation is bypassed entirely, preserving the crisp malic acidity that gives this Rosé its vibrant, refreshing character.
