Estate
Since its founding, Chalk Hill has been producing artisan wines from our estate vineyards in the hills of northeastern Sonoma County. For four decades we have studied, prodded and coaxed our complex terroir to ensure that our estate wines surrounding the winery will always be the cornerstone of our identity, starting in 2015 we began sourcing fruit beyond our estate to showcase more of the attributes Sonoma County has to offer.
Food Pairing
Enjoy this bright and fresh wine by itself or with goat cheese, light pastas, or shellfish.
Tasting Notes
Our 2017 Sonoma Coast Rosé is a beautiful blush hue. It opens with a fragrant bouquet of strawberry, fresh cut watermelon and rose petal. On the palate, bright notes of cherry, raspberry and floral notes mingle gracefully with a nice crispness. This Rosé finishes elegantly with a clean and memorably lush mouthfeel.
Vinification
2017 began with heavy rains in winter which reinvigorated the vineyards going into bud break. The region had sunny days throughout the spring and summer. A few heat spells in June were followed by moderate temperatures in July. Then, a heat spike in the last weekend of August – beginning of September propelled the harvest schedule. The fruit for this 2017 Rose was brought into the winery from September 5th - 15th, 2017 at optimal ripeness.
