2024 Rosé
Tasting notes
Inspired by the great rosés of Provence. This wine signals the arrival of spring with its bright, fresh profile. Grenache contributes lively notes of fresh grapefruit, while Cinsaut adds a silky texture and refined mouthfeel. Mourvèdre completes the blend with its vibrant acidity. The result is a harmonious, easy drinking wine bursting with notes of citrus.
Picked over a two-week period in October. Each lot pressed separately with gentle and extended press cycle >4hrs to get a hint of skin contact. Cinsaut foot-treaded and left on skins for 24hrs prior to pressing. Co-fermented in stainless steel with some neutral oak and aged on fine less for 6 months prior to botlling.

A slightly yellow hue of pink in the glass, this blend of 51% Grenache, 25% Cinsaut and 24% Mourvèdre is pungent on the nose with bubblegum and rose extract aromas. There's ample acidity to the palate, where citrus-spiked watermelon flavors reign. — Matt Kettmann
The brilliant 2024 Rose is a GSM-inspired blend that is mainly Grenache. Stored in all stainless steel before bottling, this delivers a great viscosity on the palate. Dense peach and strawberry flavors collide with orange zest and stony minerals on the palate. This is a seriously good effort that is best consumed on the warmer side to take in the outstanding sense of texture and weight. Drink 2025-2031- 92 points—Owen Bargreen
