Tasting Notes
Awarded 89 points in VinePair's "Best 30 Rosé Wines of 2023." "The meaty, savory rosés of Bandol are famous for their use of the Mourvèdre grape, but don't overlook the variety when planted in the similarly sunkissed vineyards of Texas. This powerful rosé is certainly reminiscent of Bandol, with a fragrant nose, intense minerality, and medium-bodied weight on the palate, while notes of ripe red berries, watermelon, and orange blossoms waft up from the glass." - VinePair

The Vineyard
Lahey Vineyards is the largest grape-growing operation in the state of Texas, yet with all of the family-owned vineyard care that you would hope for. The farm was established over 60 years ago, most recently adding grapes to their enormous plantings of peanuts and other crops. The success of their fruit all starts with the careful selection of Texas-hardy varieties.
