Frog's Leap "La Grenouille Rouganté", Mendocino, California 2022
Frog's Leap Winery, established in 1981, stands as a pioneer of organic and sustainable winemaking in California's prestigious Napa Valley. This "La Grenouille Rouganté" (French for "The Blushing Frog") from the 2022 vintage contains fruit from 70-year-old vines at the historic Ricetti Vineyard in Redwood Valley, planted in 1949 and farmed organically and without irrigation (dry farmed). "This intentional rosé brings classic Provençal elegance with vibrant aromas of fresh strawberry, ripe watermelon, and bright orange zest. The palate delivers refreshing acidity balanced with delicate floral notes and a crisp, mineral-driven finish. Made using direct-press methods like a white wine, creating its signature pale pink blush and exceptional freshness that makes it perfect for summer entertaining yet sophisticated enough for elevated dining experiences." — Frog's Leap Varieties: 100% Old-Vine Carignane from 70-year-old vines Region: Mendocino County, Redwood Valley - Ricetti Vineya
