2024 Jolie Laide Rose Wine – Exquisite & Elegant Choice

Jolie-Laide Wines’ 2024 El Dorado County Gamay-Cabernet Franc Blend offers an exquisite taste of Northern California’s rugged beauty. Crafted in the Sierra Foothills’ Barsotti Vineyard—a high-elevation site soaring nearly 3,000 feet above sea level—this wine captures the essence of its dramatic terroir. The meticulous blend of 70% Gamay and 30% Cabernet Franc creates a harmonious balance of bright fruit and mineral-driven complexity, perfect for wine enthusiasts seeking bold yet refined flavors.

From its aromatic bouquet of stone fruit and spring blossoms to hints of grapefruit zest, this wine invites you into a sensory journey. On the palate, citrusy melon notes mingle with early-ripened strawberries and a subtle touch of Himalayan pink sea salt, delivering a crisp finish that lingers elegantly. The vineyard’s unique microclimate—warmed by sunny days and cooled by Sierra Nevada mountain nights—slowly nurtures grapes to peak ripeness while preserving vibrant acidity, ensuring each sip is both refreshing and layered.

Barsotti’s decomposed “pink” granite soils mirror those of Beaujolais’ famed vineyards, inspiring its organic farming since 2005. The vines thrive in an uncommon vertical trellising system mimicking tree-like growth—a rare sight in California viticulture—that enhances sun exposure and airflow for healthier grapes. This commitment to sustainable practices yields wines that reflect both tradition and innovation.

With 12.5% alcohol by volume, this versatile red pairs beautifully with herb-crusted proteins or earthy vegetarian dishes. A standout choice for fans of elevated natural wines from California’s lesser-known appellations. Availability may vary by retailer; vintage dates could differ from images displayed online.*
