Stolpman Vineyards 'Love You Bunches' Rosé Central Coast 2023

Stolpman Vineyards is considered the founding vineyard of the Ballard Canyon AVA (granted official status in 2013) within Santa Barbara County. Stolpman’s "Love You Bunches" series traces its roots to a 2016 wedding attended by vigneron Pete Stolpman, where his carbonic sangiovese was served as the party wine. "Love You Bunches" is a pun referring to the use of whole-grape bunches during fermentation (without rupturing the grapes). In this rosé edition, grapes rest whole for 12-24 hours as carbonic fermentation begins, absorbing just a touch of pigment and texture. A gentle, smooth texture frames bright strawberry and citrus flavors in this delightful light quaff, with a hint of mint to top it off. Organically grown.
