Rosé Wine

A co-ferment of red and white grapes. The white Muscat sees 5 days skin contact, and then a blob of the red Limnio is chucked in to give the wine color and depth. Juicy strawberries, rose petals, and subtle spices. The last tasting note I wrote was “yum”…

Christian is fortunate enough to be cultivating 10 hectares of old vines that have been under the care of his family for 4 generations. Not surprisingly, his wines have more verve and complexity than many other natural wines from the area made with younge

There’s a good reason why these wines have achieved a cult-following. The Susucaru ‘rosé’ is not just a refreshing summer wine, but one that could be regarded as a light red. Gorgeous texture & a luscious, complex flavor palate make this idea for pairing

Sergio Arcuri is a fourth generation Gaglioppo grower – on the estate his great-grandfather founded in 1880. Things haven’t changed much; horses & donkeys provide the ‘power’ work & this native grape is the only one grown. Citrus peels & strawberries with

Winemaker Laura Brennan Bissell has a free-spirited background in things like tattoo artistry, performance poetry, and experimental music, but once she began her wine journey, she also interned with Cali greats like Matthiasson. Both sides show in these b

Made from fruit coming from 35 year old vineyards, which are used exclusively for producing rosé. Grapes are destemmed and fermented in old barrels of various sizes. Gentle fruit notes initially segue into a refreshing and subtly complex wine with great i

Aromatic, dry and slightly effervescent in the classic Txakoli manner. The tart, pink grapefruit acidity common to Txakoli rosés is present, but restrained. It also possesses a beautiful, silky texture and delicate flavors of wild strawberries with a grea

The effects of climate change in Alsace have inspired Binner to look south (Italy, Slovenia, Croatia) to warmer climes and treat these two pink skinned grapes as is done there: with skin contact. Lots of zip, orange peel, hibiscus, aromatics, jasmin.
