Vinification
The 2017 growing season brought more than enough rain in spring and great growing conditions during the summer. The result is excellent quality grapes with an intensity of aromas and good acidity. Over the years, we have refined our approach when it comes to the style of our Dry Rose. The focus is on crisp acidity and true varietal character allowing the fruit flavors to shine.
After pressing the fruit, fermentation took place in temperature controlled stainless steel tanks until dry. Even though it is made in a dry style, the wine retains a hint of sweetness because of the fruitiness of the zinfandel grape. Bottled a few months after harvest, the wine captures the freshness of the vintage.

Vintage
We have been producing our zinfandel-based rosé since 1954. Grapes for our Dry Rosé were harvested from the Pedroncelli home ranch and the Bushnell Vineyard. The area’s well-drained rocky soils, hillsides and excellent microclimate enable zinfandel to develop generous fruit flavors. The grapes were harvested between the end of August and the first of September.
