Antxiola pronounced (ahn-cho-la) is a Txacoli Rosado made by Bodegas Zudugarai. The winery was founded in 1989 the same year that the DO of Getaria txakolina was founded. The Errasti family has been growing grapes and making wine from these vineyards for over 40 years working with the local varieties of Hondarrabi Zuri and Hondarrabi Beltza. Antxiola Rosado is lightly sparkling, crisp and zippy with delicate wild red berry aromas. With invigorating notes of green apple, strawberry, citrus and ocean spray, its refreshing acidity and natural soft effervescence caress the palate. - Distributor Notes

This Rosato wine comes from a little group of farmers working in the mountainous, rocky zone
between the Sangro River and Terre di Chieti of Abruzzo, Italy. The clay base of the soil offers excellent water retention in this dry climate, and the rocky topsoil lends the wine its refreshing minerality. These independent small farmers partner up to offer terroir-driven wines of fantastic value. Pale rose color. The nose is persistent and fruity. The palate is soft and pleasant and totally crushable! Vinified from Montepulciano and a little Merlot.

Rose from Malbec grapes.

2nd place finisher in our 2021 vintage Rosé Taste-Off!

A family estate in the most northern part of Provence.This complex and expressive rosé reveals a palette of varied aromas such as small red fruits, white peach or even bergamot enhanced by a floral note that envelops the whole. On the palate, the first sensation is ample and fleshy textured due to the ample amount of Vermentino in the blend. The mid-palate becomes cooler giving way to a nice acidulous tension which makes this rose harmonious and elegant. This is Provencal rose at it’s finest!

Organic

A lovely blend of 40% Grenache, 35% Cinsault, 10% Syrah, Tibouren, 5% Cabernet Sauvignon. Light, vivid orange. Mineral-accented red berry and pit fruit aromas are complemented by a subtle floral top note. Silky and energetic, offering fresh strawberry, tangerine and nectarine flavors that deepen with air. Shows sharp delineation and very good persistence on the finish.

The rose from Manarine carries a light tint and is vinified completely dry. It is a blend of Grenache (60%), young vines mourvedre (20%) and Syrah (20%). Like the white wine, it is fermented and aged in cement vats and is bottled in the early spring following harvest.

Domaine La Manarine practices organic viticulture. Work in the cellar is minimal with little intervention. Fermentations are left to start with indigenous yeasts, with no fining and only a light filtration is utilized. Considering the personal attention and great care invested in his wines, his five bottlings offer some of the best value in the Rhone Valley.

A typical French bistro rose from the south of France.

Jorge Monzon considers 2020 to be an almost prefect vintage, cool and fresh, reminiscent of the great 2016. The pink 2020 Picaro del Aguila Clarete was produced with 35% Tempranillo, 35% Albillo Mayor and the rest other local grape varieties (Garnacha, Bobal, Brunal, Monastrell, Tempranillo Gris, other Albillos, Garnacha Blanca, Pirules, Jaen, Moscatel, Malvasias...) found in the old vineyards. This is very different from your average rose, more like a serious light red or powerful white that slowly fermented during 11 months and matured in barrel for 18 months. The orange-ish/pink wine is still young and lively, with some notes of toasted sesame seeds and a faint flinty reduction a little a la Coche-Dury, reminiscent of some vintages of their superb white. This was bottled without being racked, and perhaps that's why it has this nice reduction and could be the finest vintage to date. It has a strong chalky aftertaste from the limestone-rich soils, which makes it a terroir white, but it's also very marked by the style (which they updated from the traditional wines in Aranda in the old times) of a unique wine. It's balanced and mellow but not a shy wine, with 14% alcohol and a pH of 3.26. I've tasted 15+-year-old bottles of wines of this style, and they were still lively, so this one should not be shorter lived. Unique. Given my experience with past vintages, I'd wait a little before pulling the cork here. 8,358 bottles and 151 magnums produced. It was bottled in February 2022.

“Their flagship "clarete" is produced with a blend of white and red grapes (35% Tempranillo, 35% Albillo and the rest of mixed varieties). They recovered this ancestral style of wine in the zone of Aranda de Duero, produced with grapes from very old organically farmed vineyards where there are a lot of varieties mixed in the field (Garnacha, Bobal, Bruñal, Monastrell, Tempranillo Gris, other Albillos, Garnacha Blanca, Pirulés, Jaén, Moscatel, Malvasías...), and they all fermented together with Tempranillo and the white Albillo to create what they describe as "a wine that is not a rosé and has aromas of white and the spirit of a red." The clusters are pressed directly and the must settles in concrete in their ancient caves, then it ferments slowly (over eight to nine months) in oak barrels, where the wine matured for a total of 17 months. This is a wine that ages magnificently in bottle, and together with the rosé from López de Heredia (that technically is also a "clarete"), these are the two most characterful and best pink wines produced in Spain today.” - Wine Advocate

A limited-edition Rosé, fresh, fruity, subtle, and joyful, a delicate caress. It is multi varietal made with local and international grapes: Tempranillo (80%), Syrah (15%), and Verdejo (5%). The two red varieties blend perfectly while the white variety provides the flirtatious acidity that makes this wine a breath of fresh air. Frontaura Rosé is an aromatic rosé, which combines notes of red fruit with Spring flowers, resulting in strawberry lips and easy-to-enjoy versatility, vibrant fragrances, with amorous texture, and at the same time a spark of acidity. Cheerful, ready to turn the aperitif into an event.

"A soft, pale, brilliant pink with bluish tints developing over time towards more orangey nuances. The bouquet releases aromas of summer fruits, cassis and redcurrant. Floral notes of rose along with hints of grapefruit complete the picture. The finish is fresh, offering notes of candy. On the palate the impression is fresh and full, with great aromatic persistence and balance." - Gerard Bertrand

This is the best bargain rosé we have this year! Delicate and pretty with lively fresh fruit notes that will have you thirsting for more. The wineries vineyards are on an island in the middle of the Rhone river, how cool is that? The main varieties are Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, Carmenere, and Arinarnoa (a cross between Merlot and Petit Verdot). The rosé harvest undergoes a short skin maceration with complete control of process timing, producing a rosé exclusively from free-run juice.

"Founded in 1927, Domaine Isle Saint Pierre is located on a small island in the Rhone River. It is run today by fourth generation vigneron Julien Henry.

The proximity to the water provides a cooling influence that allows the wines to retain great freshness even in the far south of France, and deep well-draining sedimentary soils comprised of sand and silt.

Because of the terroir and temperature, they are able to grow varietals that thrive in a Continental climate, such as Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Chardonnay and Sauvignon.

In 2018, the estate received the Vignerons Developpement Durable certification in recognition of their commitment to sustainable winegrowing.

Although the Isle Saint Pierre wines come from the very southern stretches of France, they display wonderful freshness and aromatic appeal. At harvest, as soon as the grapes enter the cellar, they are cooled to a temperature below 16°C.

Domaine Isle Saint Pierre is our answer to lively, easy-drinking "bistro-style" wines that are perfect for everyday drinking!" - Importer

Maria Jose Lopez de Heredia's husband, Jos?? Luis Ripa S??enz de Navarrete, has started making a stunning Rosado under his own label. If you had the opportunity to taste at the Lopez de Heredia's Rosado before, you know how complex and beautiful it is. Jos?? is emulating that style by aging his Rosado as well.

Pale salmon pink color with an orange hue. Aromas of cherry with nuances or red berries, dry flowers and Mediterranean herbs. Fine and elegant tannins, vibrant acidity, moderate alcohol and long finish, with notes of cassis in the aftertaste.

"Grenache and Tempranillo grapes from two 30+ year old, bush-pruned vineyards located in the Najerilla Valley, in the Rioja Alta district of the DOC Rioja, where soils are of calcareous clay type with a slightly higher ferric percentage than in the rest of the district.

The grapes were destemmed and taken to a stainless steel vat, where must was bled (saign??e) for about 24 hours and racked. After that, the juice was taken to 500-liter French oak used barrels, where it fermented and stayed for another 18 months. The blending of the wines from the two different grapes was done just a few days before bottling and consisted of 85% Grenache and 15% Tempranillo.

My idea was to make a ros?? with subtlety and sophistication in the nose and a firm structure and length in the mouth, more vinous than fruity." - Jose Luis

The color of this beautiful wine is a stunningly bright and soft shade of pink. Intense and inviting aromas of freshly-picked fruit, strolling through a flower garden. Scents of ripe pineapple, fresh pear and strawberry meet hints of sweet French confections. From the first taste it is zippy, fresh and dances crisp across the tongue. The incredible acidity is met by fresh red and tropical fruits that balance with a clean finish. This dry, classic Ros?? is wonderfully balanced and round with a texture that is mouthwatering and savory.

The ideal style of Ros?? for any occasion - this is the perfect pairing with friends. Whether an aperitif by the water or with food, this fresh wine is quite versatile. Great matches to this ros?? include a variety of fresh, meatier fish and shellfish, summer salads from the garden and the classic French roasted chicken. - Winemaker's notes

Certified Sustainable, no herbicides or pesticides used. 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot. Twenty-five year old vines grown on clay-limestone soil, with lots of rocks in southwest France. This Vin de France rose performs well above it’s pricepoint. A beautiful electric rose petal color. The fruit-forward bouquet is prelude to what is to come. This is a fuller more round style of rose especially compared to Provence. This is a really nice rose for the non-rose drinker.

Pinot Noir Rose from Marsannay.

Organic

Limpid orange-pink. Displays vibrant, mineral-tinged redcurrant, orange zest and peach scents and an herbal nuance builds in the glass. Taut and racy on the palate, offering tangy red berry and citrus fruit flavors, along with hints of honeysuckle, saffron and tarragon. Fleshes out through the smooth, clinging finish, which leaves blood orange and white pepper notes behind. This wine consistently delivers outstanding value.

A biodynamically farmed bubbly Rose of Pinot Noir from Austria (how cool is that!?). This dry wine is naturally made, no CO2 added, in tank then bottled. Fresh cherries and strawberries galore with very balanced acidity results in a refreshing springtime quaffer.

The pink 2021 Rosado was produced mostly with Garnacha and some Viura that fermented in small oak vats and was kept with the lees that were worked for 16 weeks. It's pale, subtle and fresh in this approachable and cool vintage. It's floral, elegant and precise, with a faint bitter twist in the finish. 2021 is a very good vintage for whites and rosés. 301,200 bottles produced. It was bottled at different times from one single master blend. I tasted a bottle that had been filled in February 2022.

The color is a delicate pink with orange reflections. The bouquet is rich of floral nuances, rose petals and violets, with a very present note of fresh red fruit such as sour cherry, strawberry and pomegranate. On the palate the Rosato is fresh and juicy, very pleasant, showing a hint of pink grapefruit on the finish. The Rosato has a great structure, confirming its nature as a territorial wine. The Nebbiolo used to make this Rosato is sourced from Oddero's prized certified organic vineyards in La Morra.

The faintly reductive 2021 Rosado is a bright pink produced with Garnacha from dry-farmed vines. It feels a bit young and might need some more time in bottle (or an energetic decanting) to get rid of the reduction, because it has juicy fruit and some fresh floral notes and feels balanced and tasty. It's 13% alcohol and has some very fine tannins and a tasty finish. Unbeatable price.

A light, delicate pink hue with a lively effervescent palate. Fruit forward and delicious without being sweet.

One of our best-selling roses of last year has returned! The 2022 vintage is singing, and trust us this is a song you want to hear. Their Pinot Noir grapes are gently pressed, with optimal skin contact, to enhance the overall character of the wine. A delicate salmon color is alluring in the glass while the zippy acidity is lively on the palate. This is a delectable summer rose that is hard to beat for the price.

Uniquely crafted Rose infused with subtle Grapefruit flavors. Beautiful Grapefruit bouquet jumps from the glass right away followed by thirst quenching juicy fruit flavors that are dry yet very refreshing. It all wraps up with a Grapefruity fun finish. This is a backyard Summer Rose if there ever was one!.

San Salvatore is located in the heart of the Cilento National Park, in the Campania region of southern Italy. With 149 hectares devoted to organically-farmed agriculture, including vineyards, olive groves, and crops that support their 550-head of water buffalo, San Salvatore has quickly become one of Italy's most environmentally-conscious Azienda Agricola.

San Salvatore's first harvest was in 2009, but their historic vineyards were planted by the Ancient Greeks with the same varieties that continue to flourish in this region today: Falanghina, Fiano, Greco, and Aglianico. This mountainous region of Campania has a high level of biodiversity and the soil is rich in minerals. The influence of the nearby sea and ideal sun exposure help to create an ideal microclimate for viticulture and other crops.

Deeply committed to preserving the delicate balance of the land, San Salvatore takes a special interest in cultivating the vineyards without synthetic products or genetically modified organisms and uses biodynamic preparations like horn dung that favor the natural fertility of the ground and the production of beneficial humus. Vines are also protected from pests and diseases with the careful use of copper and sulfur when necessary.

The winery even supplies its own power needs with an onsite photovoltaic plant and a biodigester to reduce its carbon footprint and emissions through innovative processes. San Salvatore has genuinely excelled at achieving sustainable living ideals and continues to set the standard for environmental practices in the Italian wine industry.
