2023 Vin Gris

Our Vin Gris is a Provencal-inspired, dry rosé wine that weve historically made from Mourvedre, Cinsaut and Grenache. A few years ago we began an experiment with rose from Zinfandel grapes, and loved the rose-petal aromatics and lively acidity it brings; its been a four-grape blend since then. The goal here is for a vibrant and quenching wine, which seem like great attributes for a summertime aperitif! On the nose this blush wine is quite generous, with aromatics of wild and candied strawberry, charentais melon, citrus blossom and climbing rose. The palate is focused and refreshing, with flavors of watermelon and its rind, some sweet citrus, and just-ripe strawberry. -GH
