Rosé
The inaugural vintage of our Syrah Rosé displays a deep, vibrant ruby color. Carrying enough complexity to please the most discerning red wine drinkers, this dry wine is endlessly versatile and classically refreshing. Due to the small volume produced, this wine is available exclusively to wine club members.

Vineyard Profile: Estate Vineyard
Located on a mountainside high above Dry Creek Valley in Sonoma County, the rocky soils of Montemaggiore's estate vineyards produce intensely flavored grapes at naturally low yields. Using biodynamic practices and organic materials, we farm Paolo's Vineyard without chemical fertilizers, pesticides or herbicides.
2007 Vintage
The 2007 growing season proved ideal, with grape sugars ripening at the same rate as the flavors and tannins, whereas often the sugars get way ahead of the phenolics. The winter had brought half our usual rainfall, and an early spring led to early budbreak. The heart of the growing season was picture perfect, with moderate temperatures and significant cooling fog. Harvest started right on time. Although clusters were lighter and smaller, the grapes had excellent flavors.
Winemaker's Goal
The Montemaggiore Rosé is an intentional rosé, whose grapes are grown and harvested specifically for the purpose. This wine has fresh, fruit aromas along with a crisp body and round mouthfeel. With its multiple layers of flavors, it's quite an elegant wine. More on Rosé Winemaking ▶
