Growing Conditions

The 2025 growing season began with a wet, cool May, but was ultimately defined by a hot, dry summer (rainfall from mid-June to mid-August was less than 50% of normal) with low disease pressure and high sugar accumulation.

This 2025 Dry Rose is fragrant, fruity & fresh with intense red berry aromas.

Aging

The Cabernet Franc grapes for this Rose sat on the skins for a 12-hour cold-soak before being pressed off, giving it its pink hue.
