This rosé is a blend of 50% Syrah and 50% Grenache. It is sourced from Paicines Ranch which is located in the Central Coast AVA. A regenerative ranch that not only has a small vineyard that is CCOF-certified organic, but it also is a habitat for a diverse group of animals and food products. This impressive ranch provides grass feed beef, and sheep just to name a few things. The ranch's mission is to regenerate diverse ecosystems from the soil up. It's one of the most exciting new vineyards I am working with and the quality shows even in these young vines! 

Vinification: Hand harvested, early to preserve freshness. The grapes were foot tread in the vineyard by the vineyard team and then gently pressed after about 2 hours of maceration for color. The wine was allowed to settle overnight followed by a racking the next day. Native yeast fermentation was conducted in stainless steel. After native malolactic fermentation, the wine was aged in stainless for 5 months before bottling. Unfinned and unfiltered expect some sediment. 

Aromas of sweet strawberries, raspberries, and powdered sugar. On the palate, this wine is leaner than one might expect and driven by its minerality, juicy fruit and refreshing acidity. 47 cases produced.
