Winemaking Notes: The grapes for this Central Coast Grenache and Syrah blend were sourced primarily from cool climate areas like Monterey and Santa Barbara County, and were picked at 21-23 Brix for a high natural acidity that makes the wine ideal for summer drinking. The grapes were directly pressed to ensure as little extraction from the skins as possible. This is done to retain the delicate fruit aromas and pale color for which rosé is known. The final blend is a composition of many small fermentations done in stainless steel tanks, each treated individually with care.
Tasting Notes: Summer Water is a lean and refreshing rosé with notes of strawberry, pink grapefruit and white peach. Drink with summer-friendly fare like shellfish, ceviche and salads.

Sustainability & Freshness: Bag-in-box (BIB), cans, and kegs stand out as the most environmentally friendly options for enjoying wine, particularly for immediate consumption. Glass bottles represent nearly 50% of the wine industry’s carbon footprint according to several industry audits. Kegs, with their large volume capacity, play a role in minimizing packaging waste (glass bottles, corks, and labels). This results in a reduction in the number of shipments required, significantly lowering the overall carbon footprint associated with keg wine consumption. Kegs provide a sealed and inert environment, ensuring the wine’s freshness from the initial pour to the last, minimizing spoilage and reducing the need for additives or preservatives. Additionally, kegs are space-efficient, making them a practical choice for small bars and restaurants.
