This Grape Is the Secret to Fresh, Pale Pink Rosé Wines

"An estate-focused producer that leans on the Rolle grape to add structure, volume, and age-worthy character to its rosés and whites; its oenologist notes using up to the regulatory 20% Rolle in certain cuvées for extended ripening and barrel-aging while preserving elegance. The team experiments with co-fermentation of Rolle and Syrah to enhance finesse and complexity, producing wines with citrus and floral aromatics from Rolle, red-berry notes from Syrah, a rounded mouthfeel, impressive length, and delicate, pale-rosé hues with lychee-toned nuances. The producer also offers an accessible rosé at an entry-level price point (around $21)." - Kristy Alpert
