Winemaker Notes

The 2019 ‘Pink’ brings so much of what they love and expect from a traditionalProvencal rosé: lively, crisp, and refreshing. The average age of the vines in theblend—well over seventy years—adds a depth of flavor and texture uncommonin most rosés and we believe unobtainable using the saignée method. The 2019 LaGrenouille Rouganté is an intentional rosé. It is pressed directly from the skins andmade much like a white wine which accounts for its freshness, vibrancy and striking faint, blush of color.

Blend: 94% Carignane, 6% Valdiguié

Whether it’s playful and fun or savory and serious, most rosé today is not your grandmother’s White Zinfandel, though that category remains strong. Pink wine has recently become quite trendy, and this time around it’s commonly quite dry. Since the pigment in red wines comes from keeping fermenting juice in contact with the grape skins for an extended period, it follows that a pink wine can be made using just a brief period of skin contact—usually just a couple of days. The resulting color depends on grape variety and winemaking style, ranging from pale salmon to deep magenta.
