Atwater Vineyards

Our Rosé 2023 is deep in both color and flavor. Reminiscent of Rosé from Tavel, France, ours is a blend of 82% Barbera and 18% Blaufränkisch–both known for their dark skins. Red berries on the nose sharpen to expressive strawberry, rhubarb, and pomegranate arils on the palate. A crack of black pepper, chalky minerality, moderate acidity, and a supple mouthfeel make this a great dry wine for pairing heavier faire. Your summer barbeque wine.

Herbal aromatics give way to cherry cola, strawberries, watermelon, and a crushed gravel minerality on the palate. Featuring 85% Cabernet Franc from our neighbors around Seneca Lake and 15% Blaüfrankisch from our home farm, the wine is vibrant in color and flavor. Lively acidity balances the fruit, making it a perfect complement for food, like a goat cheese crostini topped with a berry compote.
