To make a Provence-style Rosé, we sourced fruit from vineyards within Monterey, San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara, all part of the larger Central Coast AVA. Grenache makes up the larger part of this blend coming from vineyards in Monterey and San Luis Obispo where the cooler, marine influence adds bright, fruit flavors and acidity
to the wine. Finishing out the blend, Carignan from San Luis Obispo adds complexity, and Mourvedre along with small amounts of Albarino, Counoise and Cinsault from the warmer Happy Canyon AVA within Santa Barbara County add depth and minerality.

Across California, the growing season was long and even, with a dry winter and mild spring temperatures. A warm summer with no heat spikes was followed by mild temperatures in the fall, allowing us to pick our fruit in August. These conditions produced smaller, more concentrated fruit clusters resulting in great flavor and acidity
making for a complex and well-balanced wine.

After harvest, the fruit was whole cluster pressed upon arrival at the winery. To help preserve the wine’s fruit and natural acidity, reductive winemaking was used to limit the amount of oxygen the wine has exposure to during fermentation in stainless steel tanks.
