2020 Brut Rosé

In Stock

Pin It

A favorite among our enthusiasts, this wine expresses great balance while emphasizing fruity and floral characteristics. Rosé wines are often believed to be made only from Pinot Noir, but the best, including ours, have Chardonnay added for structure. The latest vintage of our beloved Brut Rosé entices with luscious notes of potpourri, watermelon, honeysuckle, grilled peaches and mandarin.

"Lovely light copper color, with fresh rose, orange peel and cantaloupe notes. Medium-bodied with lime and citrus flavors. Tangy at the end. Delicious. A blend of 57% pinot and 43% chardonnay. 9 gpl dosage. Drink now." - 93 Points | James Suckling | February 2024

Wine Profile

Tasting Notes

On the nose, the 2020 rosé welcomes the senses with aromas of potpourri, rose petal, peaches, and a hint of matchstick. The sophisticated and dry palate displays flavors of mandarin, tangerine, peaches and cream, raspberry, and ginger. A warm toastiness evolves from extended aging on the lees and combines with the ethereal Pinot Noir fruit character. As the wine ages and the tiny bubbles are formed, an elegant wine of great poise evolves.

Vineyard Notes

The 2020 vintage is defined by low yields and concentrated, complex fruit. Early spring frosts and rain during May fruit set limited the number of berries per cluster, which allowed the vine to concentrate more of its resources towards each berry during development. Limited winter rainfall kept berries small while optimal temperatures throughout July and August ripened them beautifully. Harvest commenced on August 3rd and was one of the fastest in recent memory. All grapes destined for our sparkling wine were picked within 3 weeks, and by September 17th, our 34th harvest was complete.
