2024 Rosé, CaliforniaSpace Age
Vintage Notes
Good soil moisture accumulated during the winter kickstarted the 2024 growing season for our Central Coast vineyards, resulting in an even budbreak and excellent canopy development. The relatively small crop translated to concentrated flavors, and cool nights during the long, warm summer allowed the fruit for our 2024 Space Age Rosé to retain amazingly fresh natural acidity at harvest.
Winemaker Notes
Following harvesting in the cool early morning hours, we follow a rigorous program modeled after the techniques used to produce our favorite French Provencal rosés. Whole clusters are placed directly into the press upon arrival and the fresh juice is slowly fermented at ultra-low temperatures. We bottle early, in February 2025, in order to preserve maximum freshness in the wine.
Tasting Notes
Our gentle approach to rosé winemaking ensures the retention of the precise color and flavors present in the grapes at harvest. this 2024 rosé exhibits our trademark array of super fresh, crisp strawberry and raspberry flavors, with hints of lemon zest and pomelo. The alluring natural acidity adds tension and sustains the wine throughout its vibrant aromatic finish.
