2013 GSM Rosé

What We Taste
Gently honeyed melon, tropical fruits, delicate berries, sweet, airy floral notes. A more restrained and elevated wine than the 2012. Long sensual finish of sugar-dusted citrus.  Why is it so popular?  Because we take our ros̩é very seriously. Year-after-year.  And this is probably the finest we've produced in over a decade.  Its gorgeous.  :)

What We Made
38% Syrah, 31% Grenache, 31% Mourvedre (Miramonte, Palmador, Berean Vineyards, respectively).  Grape bins are chilled to 50 degrees after harvesting.  Then the grapes are gently crushed, and slowly fermented in stainless steel tanks at a chilly 48-50 degrees.  Cold slow ferments allow us to capture details, nuance that set this wine apart.  Blending occurs shortly thereafter.  302 cases produced.  13.1% ABV.

How We Serve
Lightly chilled at about 45-50 degrees. That's roughly 25-30 minutes in your refrigerator before serving. Enjoy it with one of our Signature charcuterie boards. Or just about anything from the grill. Especially lighter, leaner meats.
