2023 Tempranillo Rosé
Sonoma CoastNew Release! 2023 marked our first harvest of our Regenerative Organic Certified® vineyards. It was an exceptional vintage across Sonoma, with a slow, cool growing season with plentiful rain.
Tasting NOTES
Our Tempranillo Rosé is inviting with aromas of rose water, and notes of watermelon Jolly Rancher sweetness, sour peach tanginess, guava and pomegranate. This wine is slightly rounder and richer texture than our Rhinefarm Rosé, balanced by a bright tartness. Pair this with mortadella, pimento cheese or a sunny afternoon. Not many Californian producers grow Tempranillo, but legend has it our estate vines happen to be smuggled to Rhinefarm many años ago from the famed Bodegas Marqués de Riscal in Rioja, Spain by none other than Jim Bundschu himself. No worries though, the statute of limitations has expired by now.
Vineyard NOTES
Crafted with fruit sourced primarily from the Bundschu familys 160+ year-old Rhinefarm Estate Vineyard, located on the southwest slopes of the Mayacamas Mountains, just eight miles north of San Pablo Bay. The terrain below 150 ft elevation features gently sloping Huichica clay loam soils with gravel deposits and cooler growing conditions that deliver minerality and focused acidity.
