SC- Open Hills Ranch Rosé

Open Hills Ranch, where the ocean’s cool breeze funnels along the rolling hills into California's Central Coast, moderating the growing climate to create the perfect environment to craft premium wines.

Grenache Gris is a pinkish-grey mutation of the red Grenache grape and is mainly grown in the south of France. Little research has been conducted into the history of Grenache Gris and the variety remains in relative obscurity. It tends to appear in the vineyard only among other Grenache bush vines and is often indiscriminately blended into other wines. Like its family members Grenache and Grenache Blanc, Grenache Gris is vigorous, resistant to drought and prefers warm, dry environments. Wines made from 100% Grenache Gris are something of a rarity and a winemaker's indulgence.

The Grenache grapes for Open Hills Ranch are picked with crispness and liveliness in mind. After pressing and a short maceration, the juice cold settles in stainless steel tanks for 48 hours. It's then inoculated for fermentation at a low temperature to preserve aroma and flavor. Once complete, the wine remains in tank to age, resulting in a clean, crisp finish once filtered and bottled.

"Light salmon in color with notes of melon on the nose. Flavors of watermelon, raspberries, and freshly cut strawberries are heightened by crisp acidity on the finish."
