Food & Wine
Hey there, Rosy Cheeks aficionados! The moment you’ve all been waiting for is finally here – the 2023 vintage of our beloved Rosy Cheeks wine is now available online and in our tasting room!
We’ve been thrilled to witness the ever-growing passion for our Rosy Cheeks varietal. This year’s vintage is sure to exceed all expectations. So, if you can’t resist the allure of this semi-sweet delight, now’s the time to stock up—when it sells out, it causes absolute mayhem!
A Note from our Winemaker Extraordinaire, Leo Gabica:
“This is such a happy wine that takes you right to summer time. My goal with every wine is to achieve balance, and though this wine is a semi-sweet, I want to make sure the acidity brings you a refreshing flavor profile and finish.”
Let’s Talk Pairings:
Picture yourself basking in the summer sun, indulging in a refreshing watermelon salad topped with fragrant mint and creamy feta cheese. Pair it with a glass of Rosy Cheeks, and you have a match made in culinary heaven! If you’re feeling more adventurous, fire up the grill with your protein of choice and slather on some spicy barbecue sauce for a tantalizing contrast.
But wait, there’s more! If you’re craving more sweetness, why not indulge in decadent fruit tarts or decadent pound cake drizzled with fresh strawberry compote? Leo also recommends a delightful strawberry and spinach salad with a zesty citrus dressing to complement the vibrant flavors of our Rosy Cheeks wine.
Exploring the Flavor Palette:
Prepare your taste buds for a symphony of flavors! Our 2023 Rosy Cheeks boasts a luscious blend of strawberry and raspberry notes reminiscent of homemade strawberry jam and candied watermelon with a hint of tropical guava. Each sip is a journey through sun-kissed vineyards and lazy summer days.
From Harvest to Bottle:
The journey of our Rosy Cheeks wine begins in the picturesque vineyards of Willamette Valley, Umpqua, Applegate, and Rogue Valley AVAs. The 2023 harvest may have had a delayed start, but Mother Nature graciously blessed us with a warm and dry summer, allowing the fruit to ripen to perfection.
Crafted from a saigee-style blend of Pinot Noir, Syrah, Tempranillo, and Malbec, our Rosy Cheeks is fermented at low temperatures to preserve its freshness and complexity. With balanced acidity and just the right touch of sweetness, it’s a true expression of summertime in a bottle.
Where to Find Us:
Ready to embark on a sensory adventure? The 2023 Rosy Cheeks is now available at our tasting room and online store for just $29 per bottle. Only 1390 cases were produced, which sounds like a lot, but it sells out yearly, so be sure to snag yours before it’s gone!
So, what are you waiting for? Join us in raising a glass to summer’s eternal bliss with a bottle of our 2023 Rosy Cheeks. Cheers to good times, great wine, and unforgettable memories!
