Rhinefarm Rosé

Sourced primarily from Dijon and 40-year-old heritage Pinot Noir clones, the majority of the fruit grows in the lower portion of the vineyard, a section that sits literally across the street from the Carneros appellation border and shares the cooling benefits of the fog from the San Pablo Bay to the south and the Petaluma Gap to the west. The topsoil is only 18”–30” deep, consisting of Huichica clay loam with occasional pockets of small stream gravel that have been deposited over centuries by the adjacent Arroyo Seco Creek. Beneath this layer is compacted Carneros Bay sediment that naturally restricts vigor. The climate and soils combine to maximize hangtime and tiny, concentrated berries.

We harvest by hand during the cool morning hours, then destem and gravity feed the fruit directly into the stainless steel fermentation tank. To achieve its gorgeous pale pink color.

At Gundlach Bundschu, we make great wine but also like to have fun. We recommend enjoying our Sonoma Rhinefarm Rosé in many ways:

• A sunny day
• A rainy day
• Really, any day
• Appetizers, picnics, and salads
