Arnot-Roberts California Rose 2024

Known for their site-driven, low-intervention wines from some of California’s most interesting vineyards, Arnot-Roberts brings the same philosophy to their California Rosé. The 2024 vintage is made from carefully selected old-vine Touriga Nacional, grown in cool-climate sites and picked early for acidity and finesse. This rosé shows layers of wild strawberry, blood orange, white pepper, and crushed herbs. The texture is lean but firm, carried by zippy acidity and a mineral core that gives it grip and depth. Whole-cluster pressing, native yeast fermentation, and no excess polish keep the wine transparent and vibrant. Serve it cool (not ice cold) and pair it like a light red: think grilled salmon, tomato salads, or anything with herbs and olive oil. For rosé drinkers who want more from their glass—or red drinkers looking for a summer reset—this is where the real stuff lives.
