Our winemaker MELANIE NATOLI is on a mission to share the magic of rosé with everyone. She is consistently inspired by the versatility and complexity of rosé, and built our rosé program to reflect the range and beauty of her favorite style.
These wines begin in the vineyard – the grapes are grown, picked, and vinified to showcase the charm of rosé produced with intention.
2025 ROSÉ OF MERLOT
Strawberry picking: / Sticky fingers, sunlit laugh / Golden afternoon
100% Merlot grown at Greenstone Vineyards in Leesburg, VA, who we have worked with for this fruit for over ten years. These vines are grown in soil with a high natural stone content (Virginia greenstone, hence the name) giving a crisp and fresh minerality to the wine. Our Rosé of Merlot is bold and plush with ripe strawberries and watermelon in the nose, with juicy red berry notes on the palate. A ripe, round, and joyous style.

2025 ROSÉ OF CABERNET SAUVIGNON
Secret garden path / Harmony of stone and thyme / Birdsong and peach light
100% Cabernet Sauvignon grown at Silver Creek Orchards in the hills of Nelson County, VA. Our Rosé of Cabernet Sauvignon is a love song for rosé, beautifully layered and highly aromatic. We found fresh sea salt minerality, soft orange citrus, and light herbal notes on the nose, moving to brighter mandarin orange, guava, and strawberry on the palate. Elegant and ethereal.

2024 ROSÉ OF CABERNET FRANC
From the citrus grove / The air moves down the mountain / To azure waters
100% Cabernet Franc grown at Bluestone Vineyards in the Shenandoah Valley. For our first vintage of this wine in 2021, half was barrel-fermented and barrel-aged, while the other half was kept in stainless steel tanks. When it came time to blend, the barrel sample had developed so beautifully, and the aromatics and texture were so entrancing, that it was our favorite piece of the blend – and Melanie decided to pursue that wine for future vintages. This 2024 rosé was fermented and aged six months in French oak and Acacia puncheons. Extended lees contact helps develop a beautifully complex and full-charactered bouquet, showing notes of white blossom, gentle citrus, white cherry, soft cream, and flaky pastry. Round red fruit notes rise on the palate, mingling with a lift of bright pink pepper. An expansive, palate-filling style with an everlasting finish.
