Winemaker Notes

The 2024 Monarch Challenge Rosé is a unique, coastal blend coming from the RAEN Pinot Noir lots, married with a block of beautiful, old vine Grenache, all hailing from organically farmed vineyards in line with the Monarch Challenge's goal of a cleaner, healthier, more brilliant planet. 

The wine opens with a bouquet of sun-ripened wild strawberries, crushed white peach, and delicate whispers of freshly plucked apricots. Notes of wet stone, spring nectar, and lime blossom follow, weaving through the vibrant, red fruits before finishing with a touch of crushed river rock. On the palate, sweetened berries and white nectarine take center stage, leading into a zesty and flinty finish, with a lingering hint of citrus and strawberry.

Blend: 70% Grenache, 30% Pinot Noir
