Grenache 2019 Dunites Slide Hill Vineyard Red Wine

Discover the elegance of Dunites Wine Co.’s 2019 Grenache Rosé—a standout expression of California’s Central Coast terroir. Crafted from grapes grown in shallow shale soils enriched by biodynamic farming practices, this wine embodies a harmonious balance between bold character and refined complexity. The cooling ocean breezes from nearby Pacific waters extend the grapes’ hang time, fostering slow ripening that preserves vibrant acidity while coaxing out layers of ripe strawberry, raspberry coulis, and hints of dried thyme.

Bottled at 13% alcohol by volume, this rosé achieves its crisp profile through meticulous whole-cluster fermentation with native yeasts and gentle élevage in neutral French oak. The result is a rosé that defies convention: juicy yet structured, with a saline mineral finish that lingers effortlessly. Perfect for sipping poolside or pairing with dishes like seared scallops with citrus butter sauce, it strikes an ideal balance between approachable freshness and cellar-worthy depth.

For rosé enthusiasts seeking more than just a summer sipper, this bottling offers versatility across seasons. Its versatility shines with everything from fresh goat cheese salads to grilled vegetable tagines. Whether enjoyed now or cellared for 5-7 years to coax out deeper savory nuances, this biodynamic Grenache Rosé redefines expectations for California rosé—celebrating both immediate joy and long-term rewards.
