Our 2019 Napa Valley Reserve Rosé is produced using the Saignée Method. The process produces not just a Rosé but a red wine as well. Early in the maceration process, we remove some of the juice and vinify it separately as a Rosé. The rest of the juice is left to continue vinifying into a more concentrated red wine. We chose the Saignée Method since it produces Rosés richer in style and color.
