2023 Skylark Pink Belly Rosé

$22.00

Skylark Pink Belly rose is sourced from Kurt Ashurst’s Grenache vineyard just outside of Hopland in Mendocino County. Kurt farms this solely for our rose production, picking early to preserve freshness and acidity, the hallmark characters of Pink Belly Rose. 2023 started off with a very wet winter, saturating soils and creating big, healthy canopies. Summer was cool and moderate, with no heat spikes 2023 was one of the coolest vintages we have experienced. Ashurst was picked in the early morning on October 8 and transported to Sonoma for vinification. Just enough skin contact for color, gentle pressing and then off to its stainless steel home. We don’t allow malolactic fermentation and bottle in Spring to preserve fruit and acidity. Rose for every day.

Pale salmon color. Red cherry, watermelon and citrus accents dominate the the lively aromatics. High- toned florals lend complexity and suggest a fruit-driven sensation on the palate. 2023 Pink Belly is defined by the cool growing season, but also by the fruit density inherent in this vintage. The red cherry, watermelon and orange blossom flavors dovetail beautifully into the cool climate structure, providing that synergy of being generous and refreshing at the same moment.
