Wine Profile
Vineyard
The grapes for our GSM Rosé were primarily sourced from our estate San Lucas Vineyard. San Lucas is located 17 miles south of our Greenfield winery. Here, the days are warmer and longer, yet they cool down quite dramatically when the sun goes down, recording a greater day-to-night temperature differential. This brings out a lush fruitiness with balanced acidity and a soft-on-the-palate feel. Hames Valley is located at the southern edge of Monterey County and has a climate characterized by a high day-to-night temperature differential, with a variation of up to 50° quite common. This is where we grow Mourvèdre that has abundant full fruit and a subtle spiciness and earthiness.
Varietal Composition
68% Grenache, 26% Syrah, 6% Mourvèdre
Winemaking
This vintage of our Rosé was crafted using a combination of saignée and direct-to-press techniques. Saignée, meaning “bleed” in French, is when early in red wine fermentation, a portion of the juice is “bled off” from the tank. This technique was used on 32% of the Grenache, which was then fermented in neutral French oak barrels for four months, contributing texture and subtle roundness. The remaining Syrah, Grenache, and Mourvèdre lots were pressed directly and co-fermented in stainless steel at cool temperatures to preserve vibrant fruit character and floral aromatics. The result is a Rosé that balances freshness and finesse with delicate complexity.
