Floral Rosé Brut There’s never a wrong time to enjoy rosé, but it’s an undeniably different experience in the warm weather. The Floral Rosé bottle alone encompasses springtime.

A blend of two native Italian grape varieties, Glera, the white variety used in the production of Prosecco, and Nerello Mascalese, a red variety typical of the warm Sicily. The result of this unusual combination is a delicate yet intensely perfumed rosé, fresh and elegant, which will charm you with its notes of blackberries and cherries and its fine perlage.

The Pinot Project Rose 2021 grapes for our Rosé come from the village of Vias, in the South of France, where twenty-plus-year-old vines are planted to rocky, volcanic soils.

The Rosé is vinified in stainless steel to preserve its mineral core and juicy freshness.

2022 Rose of Grenache Every year their Rosé flies off the shelves, but the 2022 vintage is particularly special, and each of them at Clif Family Winery has their own reason for loving it. Some of us admire the color, which they affectionately refer to as “ballet-slipper pink.” Others love the vibrant nature of the wine – bright, zippy notes of Anjou pear and watermelon seem to jump out of the glass onto the palate. For their winemaker, Laura Barrett, this wine’s versatility is hands-down its finest quality. She enjoys it alongside just about anything, from a plate of Smoked Salmon Bruschetta fresh off the Clif Family Bruschetteria Food Truck, to a fresh farm salad, or all on its own after a long day in the vineyards.

Elouan 2021 Rosé brings together fruit from three distinct terrains along Oregon’s premiere Western vineyards. The diversity of these cool climate areas combined with an elongated growing season creates a wine with intensity of fruit flavor, structure, and fresh vibrant acidity. This is a bespoke rosé where grapes were grown and harvested with the specific intention of making rosé, and not a saignée rosé, which can be a by-product of making red wine.  This wine should be enjoyed very well chilled.  It is finished with a screwcap to preserve the crisp, clean aromas and tastes and is a great choice for outdoor occasions: picnics, lunch on the patio, or enjoyed on its own as an aperitif.

Angels & Cowboys Brut Rosé is an all-California sparkler made with the traditional method of secondary fermentation. Using traditional Champagne grapes – 73% Pinot Noir, 25% Chardonnay, 2% Pinot Meunier, the fruit is sourced mostly from Mendocino and Sonoma counties. 12-months en tirage (aging on the lees), gives this berry-scented sparkler a creamy mouthfeel to balance the crisp acidity.

Angels & Cowboys Sonoma Country Rosé 2022 This rosé manages to combine the ripe fruit of Sonoma, with the crispness and pale color you expect from Provence. Made in a traditional style called "œil de perdrix" meaning partridge's eye in French, more commonly called Vin Gris - or grey wine - it is made with very little skin contact for a more delicate style.

2023 marks their third year of their ‘Pulling Corks and Filling Forks’ program, donating a portion of proceeds from every bottle of wine sold to World Central Kitchen (WCK), helping fund meals for those affected by natural and manmade disasters.

The wines are available direct from the winery, at wine.com and are nationally distributed at select retailers, including Whole Foods.
