2024 Bell Mountain Rosé

2024 Bell Mountain Rosé

Our Rosé is a pure expression of how our Bell Mountain Vineyard can express rich fruit and palate cleansing acidity at the same time. The Bell Mountain Rosé is a blend of saignées that are captured during the pressing of our red wine blocks where quick skin contact allows for a gentle color extraction. The freshness is captured by cold fermentation in stainless steel followed by an early bottling to capture the vibrancy and fresh fruit flavors.
The 2024 Bell Mountain Rosé is a delightful and vibrant expression of Bell Mountain fruit, offering fresh aromas of white raspberry and citrus essence. On the palate, it unveils creamy blackberry, apple pie, and bright, crisp red fruits, accented by delicate elderflower and floral bursts. The wine is beautifully balanced, with a mouthwatering, vibrant acidity that adds a refreshing and lively finish. It pairs wonderfully with light appetizers like crostini, grilled vegetables, or a fresh strawberry and arugula salad.

Vintage
The 2024 season started with ample rainfall and was marked by a cool spring that allowed vines to progress at a nice pace, with steady and healthy canopy growth. By August, the region enjoyed long, warm days and cool nights, creating optimal conditions for ripening while helping to retain acidity in the grapes, contributing to bright, balanced flavors. This year’s harvest returned to a more typical schedule compared to 2023, resulting in an exceptional vintage with excellent depth and flavor.
