2024 Skylark Pink Belly Rosé
$22.00
Skylark Pink Belly Rose is sourced from Lakeview Vineyard just outside of Hopland in Mendocino County. We farm this 2024 vineyard solely for our Rose production, picking early to preserve freshness and acidity, the hallmarks of Pink Belly Rose. A wet winter recharged groundwater and the rainiest May in 26 years followed. Then July came with a heat spike, with 100 degree temperatures bracketing the 4 th holiday celebrations. The remaining season was warm and moderate, providing excellent growing conditions across the North Coast. The crop load in Grenache was nearly perfect and with a healthy canopy, grape ripening was even and deliberate. We harvested Lakeview Grenache on September 12 in the early morning hours under cool and classic conditions.
Salmon pink. Aromas of just ripe cherry and watermelon with a floral note of summer citrus. The palate is a beautiful interplay between fruit and acid, where the effusive red cherry fruit lends texture and impact to the midpalate, then folds into a citrus-tinged finish. With the crisp, enlivening acid on the finish, 2024 Pink Belly is generous and linear at the same time, providing that refreshing, classic rose experience.
