2025 Rosé (750ml)

2025 was an excellent growing season with abundant rainfall, a cold Winter and a warm Spring providing ideal conditions for fruit development. Moderate Summer temperatures allowed the grapes to mature slowly and develop intense fruit flavors.

During Harvest, as the Malbec grapes are sorted, we drain off 15% of the juice to intensify the color and the flavors of our Next Red. Called “saignée” by the French (which means “to bleed”), this technique intensifies the character of red wines. Thanks to our love of Rosé, we followed the French tradition and fermented the drained juice to produce Rosé. Due to the popularity of this wine, we now incorporate a second Rosé production technique: “direct to press”. We pick a small portion of the Malbec grapes and press them immediately.

Using only Malbec grapes, we fermented the Rosé cold at 52°F in a temperature-controlled stainless steel tank to retain its fruity components. We carefully monitored the temperature and rate of fermentation to ensure that the wine preserves its fruit richness and develops complexity and length in the palate.

The 2025 Rosé opens with lovely aromatics of ripe watermelon, honeydew melon, rose petals and powdered candies. Bright, fresh and lively on the palate, it is fruit focused with notes of ripe strawberries and raspberries. Well-balanced with a long, lingering finish that makes the 2025 Rosé the perfect accompaniment for Summer.

Every wine evolves over time, revealing new aromas and flavors as it ages. While every bottle and cellar is different, these are our general recommendations:

Cabernet Sauvignon: Enjoy anytime from release through 20 years from the vintage date.
Next Red: Best enjoyed through 15 years from the vintage date.
Chardonnay and Reserve Chardonnay: Drink within 6 years from the vintage date.
Blanc de Blancs: We're still discovering its aging potential and continue to enjoy seeing how each vintage develops.
Rosé: We prefer to enjoy it while it's young, fresh, and vibrant.

These are completely subjective though. The most important aspect is to trust your own taste.

As our red wines mature, bright fruit flavors and firm tannins gradually give way to softer textures and more earthy, savory, and complex characteristics.

Our Chardonnays also evolve beautifully over time. Fresh citrus and melon notes slowly develop into flavors of pear, flint, mineral, and crème brûlée, creating a richer and more layered expression of the wine.
