Bonterra 2021 Rosé is crafted from organically grown Grenache and Syrah wine grapes sourced from the Mendocino County wine region. These grapes are specifically intended for rosé and are harvested when sugar levels are low and natural acidity is high for a fresh and vibrant wine. The grapes are “direct press” into tanks, pressing the grapes immediately to ensure that not a lot of tannin is extracted. Maceration of the grape skins with the grape juice is short making for a fresh, fruity and vibrant wine. Look for ripe strawberry, rose petals, tropical fruit notes and zesty citrus flavours on this well-balanced and harmonious rosé. Chill and enjoy with your favourite salad or tofu burger.

Rosé food pairings: grilled salmon steak, grilled ham steak, salads topped with grilled chicken, pasta Primavera, grilled chicken dishes, veggie kebabs from the grill.

Reviews and Ratings

Christian Marcoux rated this wine as 88/100 with the following review:

A summer sipper? Yes please! Let me introduce the Bonterra Rosé 2021 from California. Pleasant aromas of dragon fruit, raspberry, orange peel, rose petal and rhubarb. Light and crisp, this rosé will be best served chilled on a patio this summer. Palate: raspberry, cherry, pink grapefruit, citrus blossom and tea. Enjoy.

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
