Estate Rose 2025

Stolpman’s Bandol Inspired Rosé
Every year La Cuadrilla combs through the Estate harvesting clusters for this rosé a few weeks before returning to pick for red wine. At lower sugars and higher acid, the Estate’s tiny, concentrated dry-farmed grapes create a crisp, refreshing pink wine that unfurls over the next 1-2 years.    
Following a dry winter with Spring precipitation trickling into April, vines awoke out of dormancy late.   Summer remained cool, further delaying the growing season. Sugar levels crept up slowly at the end of summer and acids remained high. Finally, on September 30, La Cuadrilla started its rosé picking passes through the Grenache, Mourvèdre and then Syrah.   
Clean, fresh and pure in its youth. Alpine berries floating on icy snowmelt. Vibrant energy translating into tactile crunch and zing. Upon release, all tension and pent-up anticipation, by the summer of 2026, perfume will blossom and more curvy undertones will take shape. Enjoy through 2028!
