2023 Desire Lines Sky Vineyards Rosé of Grenache

Our 2023 Sky Vineyards Grenache Rosé was picked on September 6 from a small block of young vines that’s now known by the Olds family as “Caleb’s Block” (be still my heart…). The grapes were pressed, with a bit of a foot-tread, in Morgan's original 1/3-ton hand cranked basket press. After cold-settling and racking, the juice was fermented in stainless steel drums and left on lees until bottling in January.

It likely goes without saying that we are beyond thrilled with this treasure of a wine. The wine is explosively aromatic, redolent of strawberries, white peaches, orange peel, and jasmine. The palate reveals the wisdom of Caleb’s choice of Sky Vineyards, as the wine carries the vineyard’s trademark acidity with vibrant, refreshing class, cutting through the notable concentration and fruit intensity.

“The 2023 Grenache Rosé Sky Vineyards is superb. Effusive and intensely aromatic, the 2023 conveys the essence of variety and site with notable class. Crushed rocks, flowers, cranberry, salt, orange peel and white pepper lend an exotic flair. Readers will find a Rosé with real depth, complexity and structure to match.” -AG
