2024 Avant-Garde Rosé

Meet our limited-release 2024 Avant-Garde Rosé, quintessential springtime with its refreshing and bright flavors. Sparkling Rosé has long been a favorite in our portfolio, and in 2012 it was joined by the Avant-Garde Rosé of Pinot Noir. A delicate shade of pale rose gold is achieved with three days of skin contact before pressing. This release features a blend of three different Pinot Noir clones and is barrel fermented for 3 months in neutral oak.

Tasting Notes

The nose captivates with a perfume of herbs de Provence, wild strawberry, river stone, and a hint of rose petal, leading to a crisp, complex palate. Intermingled flavors of nectarine, guava, and tangy cherry are underscored by a fine minerality. Bright acidity and a crisp dry palate mark a long, refreshing finish. This rosé evokes images of picnics in the shade, poolside reads, and backyard sipping.

Food Pairings

Our 2024 Avant-Garde Rosé of Pinot Noir can be enjoyed on its own as an aperitif, but also pairs beautifully with Tuscan Pecorino cheese or any brunch food. Our winemaker TJ Evans suggests pairing with a lightly dressed salad such as Niçoise, caprese, or burrata salad with fresh strawberries and mint to really bring out the character.
