A Grenache-specific rose, and the first that featured fruit from the Swallow Hill Vineyard in Ashland. As in previous years, this is our "middle" rosé in the spectrum of sweetness, fruit and body. The fruit all comes from the Rogue Valley, 56% from Swallow Hill, 20% from Serenade, 20% from Buxton and 4% from Aardvark. Rosé all day. 91pts WE
Sourcing classic rosé varietals from blocks that were specifically planted and grown for Rosé, this vintage is done in a dry, Southern French style. The blend is approximately 48% Grenache, 42% Syrah, 9% Mourvedre, and 1% Counoise. A bright citrus skin note balances the full fruit flavor. The finish is crisp and refreshing.

Several years ago we realized that in order to make a significant amount of really good dry Rosé in the Southern French style, we would need to plant and grow for rosé. We selected classic rosé varieties like Grenache, and planted them on their own roots in cooler sites, to encourage more vigor, later ripening, and naturally higher acidity.
This is the canned version of our popular Rose' of GSM, sold in 4 packs of 250mL each. It's dangerously convienent and delicious just about anywhere.
This wine is based on a recipe that we have made for friends and family in years past. We fortified a sweet rose' of Tempranillo early in fermentation, aged it for 9 months to allow for the spirits to marry, and then lightly infused it with holiday spices, including orange peel, cinnamon, and clove. It's excellent served warm, and will be a popular part of any holiday gathering.
