This rosé is layered and complex, with fresh strawberries, raspberries, and watermelon. Crisp and bright, this is the perfect drink for a balmy summer dinner outside. Produced from 100% Grenache grown at Split Rock Ranch.
Split Rock Ranch is in Mendocino County, California. The 27-acre vineyard is just off of Old River Road in Ukiah. The soils are comprised of Pinole Gravelly Loam at 8-15% slope. The entire vineyard is certified organic by CCOF. Third generation farmers John and Inger Mattern own and farm the property - John has been farming for his entire life. They believe that great grapes begin with great soil, and so are committed to regenerative farming practices.
Samantha Sheehan founded POE in 2009 after being inspired by the wines she tasted in Burgundy and Champagne. The goal is not to replicate Burgundy, but rather create alluring, vineyard specific, age-worthy wines revealing the beautiful terroir of California. There is minimal intervention, judicious use of sulfur, and never any additives. POE produces traditional Champagne method sparkling wines, rosé, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and a nouveau from Pinot Noir. Each wine is made in very limited quantities, and sold directly from the winery and to high-end restaurants around the country.
