This Grenache was grown at the Hope family’s estate in the westside Templeton Gap District, where clay-based soils are integrated with small, water-worn limestone deposits that ensure excellent drainage and flavor development. The Mourvèdre comes from one of our favorite vineyards in the eastside Creston District. Both sites provide perfect growing conditions for classic Rhône varieties: warm days, cool nights and afternoon spring and
summer breezes with maritime influences from the Pacific Ocean.
All of the fruit for this wine was sustainably grown with SIP (Sustainability in Practice) Certified practices.

Aromas of fresh watermelon and strawberries.

The overall mouthfeel is light and crisp and finishes with a splash of citrusy sea salt that makes it perfect to pair with warm summer days.

The 2022 Rosé presents a beautiful light salmon color.

The 2022 growing season was slightly warmer than average. Mild conditions prevailed through spring and early summer, followed by a heat wave and extended warm temperatures in September that accelerated fruit ripening.
On average, the grapes were picked a week earlier than typical.
