A summertime go-to! A pale rosy/peach, the wine is dry, crisp and lively showing hints
of fresh strawberry and pomegranate. A
fun, refreshing, easy sipper for hot days with a cheese and charcuterie board, it also well matched with grilled salmon with
pesto, paella, quiche Lorraine, or a perfectly roasted chicken. The pairings are endless!
The
2024 is 100% Valdiguié from French Camp Vineyard located near Shandon
in San Luis Obispo County. Valdiguié is an obscure red varietal that is
grown primarily in the Languedoc-Roussillon region of southern France.
As a red, it produces a densely colored wine with a vibrant fruit
character, expressive personality, and live wire acidity. Made as a
rosé,it creates a pastel wine of subtle berry character and
mouthwatering crisp texture.
The grapes had 8 hours of skin
contact before pressing for flavor and color extraction. It was then
barrel fermented, went through partial malolactic fermentation, and
barrel aged in neutral oak on the lees for 8 months. This adds another
layer of interest.
