Rosé - Confiscated 2024, Moon Curser Vineyards

The 2024 Rosé - Confiscated is sourced from the southern hills of Lake Chelan, Washington. The grapes are grown on the Clos CheValle Vineyard at an altitude between 1,300 and 1,500 feet, which allows for balanced ripening with a fresh and bright acidity. This rosé hints at its delicate nature from the first glance, with its pale pink hue in the glass. A bouquet of gentle notes of cranberry, cherry blossom and lilac lead on the nose, while light vanilla bean and creaminess round out the back end of the nose and hint at the wine's subtle complexity. On the palate, this rosé shows its finesse, delivering a dry profile that is perfectly balanced by a refreshing acidity. The medium-light body is carried by the structured yet opulent midpalate. Flavours of rhubarb and cantaloupe dominate, followed by raspberry and blood orange. Enjoyable right away, this wine will drink well through 2027. Perfect on its own on a nice summer day, or with thyme-roasted chicken, feta and watermelon salad, grilled sausages or salmon gravlax.
