2023 Ankora Rose of Mourvedre
Aromatically, this wine expresses dried orange peel and dried strawberries as well as ripe persimmon. On the palate strawberries persist and are joined by raspberries and grapefruit pith. A sweet, savory balance is accompanied by lively acid leading to an excellent wine for sunny days.

Wine Profile
Vineyard Notes
Mourvedre grown on our estate vineyards in the Santa Clara AVA located in the Central Coast. Clone 4 on rootstock SO4, planted originally in 1990 and grafted over to Mourvedre in 1996.
Winemaker Notes
Grapes were hand harvested in the early morning hours and went directly to the press to preserve aromatics. After pressing, the juice was settled for 24 hours and then was racked to a new tank and fermented at 50 degrees for approximately 3 weeks. After completion of fermentation the wine was racked off lees to stainless barrels for 4 months. Bottled in March 2024
Food Pairing Notes
This wine will pair beautifully with lighter fare, including fresh fruits (think watermelon salad with grilled paneer), shellfish, and young firm cheeses in the style of feta.
