Brandon Farrell's Notes:
Louisa has always been a master of making very tasty rosé, so naturally, I was interested in making a rosé from her juice. When tasting a specific plot of Grenache, "Blanc de Noir," it was light in color but packed a brilliant, refreshing note with the subtle power of resilient red wine.
My initial vision was to make a wine inspired by Domaine Marquiliani Le Rosé De Pauline Vin De Corse, one of the best rosés I have ever tasted. With this in mind but still wanting to stay true to California, I added 10% of a non-vin gris rosé of Grenache from the same vineyard to enhance the fruit. All said and done, the wine came out with the exact color of a Vin Gris but packs a surprising punch of flavor and structure.
The artwork was created by Niki Farrell while living in Aix Provence. The painting of a sax player in the streets of Aix was the perfect connection to this rosé.
