2023 Bethel Rd. Rosé
Crafted in the renowned Templeton Gap region of Paso Robles, California, this 2023 Rosé from the Whale Rock Vineyard exemplifies elegance and precision. Made from 100% organically certified Grenache, intentionally grown for Rosé, the grapes were hand-harvested on October 10, 2023, at peak ripeness. A cool, stainless-steel fermentation with select yeast strains enhances complexity and mouthfeel, followed by four months of aging in neutral barrels. The result is a brilliant light salmon-colored Rosé, truly a poolside favorite.
Enticing aromas of melon, gardenia, and fresh raspberries set the stage for a silky and graceful palate, where flavors of watermelon and a delicate hint of lime linger on the finish. This limited bottling of only 150 cases showcases the exceptional growing season of 2023, marked by a cool spring, mild summer, and long hang times. A testament to the vineyard’s dedication and nature’s perfect timing, this Rosé captures the vibrant spirit of the vintage.
