There is a reason that dry rose is making a comeback in America. People are realizing that, when well made, this style is among the most versatile of all wines. Because of its natural levity, rose can be enjoyed on its own, or paired with anything from a club sandwich on the patio, to the roasted ham on the holiday table. Being particularly partisan to rose that is not only good, but interesting, Meloney Quady insisted that the winemaking staff keep all the drawdowns from the various lots separate until after fermentation. This allowed us to skilfully blend the various components, paying particular attention to color and body.

Strawberry and cherry aromas predominate, with nice body and a bright finish that is dry, but not drying. This wine should be consumed soon, preferably within the year of its release.
