EXCEPTIONAL GRAPES:
The 2020 growing season in Monterey was relatively cool. Spring rains delayed bloom but provided much-needed soil moisture. Cool to moderate temperatures were the norm throughout summer and brought hopes for a balanced and flavorful crop. Late summer heat spikes gave berries the final push to develop concentrated flavors and balanced acidity. Our Monterey Rosé of Pinot Noir harvest began on September 11th, when flavors, acids, and sugars were in perfect harmony.
ARTISAN WINEMAKING:
Our small-batch, hands-on techniques continued into the winery.
The grapes were gently pressed and fermented in stainless steel tanks at cool temperatures to preserve fresh fruit characteristics. The finished wine is left on lees for two to three months prior to blending and bottling for added complexity.
Each sip says Monterey. Smooth and elegant. Bright and exotic. Fresh. Juicy. And just a little wild.
