The Wine

This beautiful, elegant Rosé begins with aromas of fresh pluots, strawberries, juicy peaches and pears, all supported by hints of rosemary and blood orange. The flavors are a delightful mix of grapefruit, strawberry, peach and canary melon. The saline undertones and fresh acidity add a layer of interest, supported by subtle minerality, leading to a long and vibrant finish.

Vintage

The winter months of the 2023 vintage brought the relief of heavy rains after three consecutive drought years, with precipitation up to 50% above Napa Valley averages. An usually cool spring delayed budbreak, and was followed by a moderately warm summer with no dramatic heat spikes, allowing the grapes to ripen beautifully. Harvest began in earnest by mid-September and carried on through the first of November, making this one of the longest growing seasons in the Grgich Hills Estate record.

Winemaker's Notes

To craft this Napa Valley Rosé, we relied on the traditional saignée method, allowing freerun juice to drain out of the tank after one to five hours of skin contact. The juice was kept cool during its five to six weeks of fermentation to capture the maximum expression of fresh aromas and flavors. Similar to Provence, Napa has a Mediterranean climate, so we had southern France’s chilled Rosés in mind when creating this refreshing wine that shines whether you’re pairing it with food or drinking it alone.
