Tasting Notes
Pure elegance in a glass, this refreshing GSM Rose is the perfect accessory for any occasion. From nose to palate, notes of white nectarine, lychee, and orange blossom are present, complemented by light minerality and crisp citrus zest on the finish.
Vineyard Notes
Chalk Hill is blessed with an abundance of volcanic soils that drain quickly and produce small, more intensely flavored and colored berries without aggressive canopies. Afternoon temperatures are moderated by the cooling Pacific breezes out of the Russian River Valley. The blocks for these grapes range from rich clay top soil to 30º slopes with vines struggling to maintain their hold.
Winemaker Notes
This is a classic Rhone Rosé made from equal parts of Grenache, Syrah & Mourvedre that were picked on the same day and co-fermented in stainless steel at 55 degrees. The grapes incurred 6 hours of skin contact prior to pressing and non-saccharomyces yeast was used for sulfite reduction therapy. This wine has minimal intervention in the winemaking process and the low sulfite and alcohol content enhance the purity of the flavors and aromas.

Light, crisp, acidic and complex. I prefer red's, but this is the perfect wine for me on a hot day!

Probably my favorite Notre Vue wine. Light butterscotch nose with a fruity and flavorful profile. Heartier than most roses, with a refreshingly vegetal finish.
