Estate Rosé

Monterey

This wine comes from a small vineyard on the Chalone Bench off the Gavilan Mountains at about 1,800 feet elevation, near the Pinnacles National Park within Monterey County. Vines grow on the same type of sparse, reddish soil underlain by limestone as produces the great French Burgundies along the Cote d’Or. Thus each bottle is filled with the essence of the soil – the French gout de terrior – which gives the wine a fullness of bouquet and flavor unique to this vineyard.

Wine Fact Sheet

Chalone estate vineyard is planted between 1,650 and 1,800 feet of elevation, on top of the Gavilan Mountains on the eastern side of the Salinas Valley. We hand harvested the fruit for this wine from the Tower and Strip Blocks on our estate. Grenache is widely grown in France’s Rhône Valley and in Spain, where it is vinified both as Rosé and red wines. At Chalone, we take advantage of both styles.
