Observations on a New Vintage

Rosé of Pinot Noir

The 2024 growing season began with a cool winter, initially sparking concerns of a delayed harvest. However, the season unfolded beautifully, with moderate summer heat and cool nights creating ideal conditions for ripening while preserving Sonoma-Cutrer’s signature acidity.

Like our previous rosé vintages, the grapes for this wine were specifically grown and harvested for optimal quality. Clusters were destemmed and pressed, allowing the juice to briefly contact the skins for the ideal pale pink color. The grapes were then gently pressed to extract the juice. Each batch of rosé was fermented separately in stainless steel tanks at low temperatures to preserve delicate aromas and flavors.
