Atwater Vineyards

The Dry Rosé 2022 is a delicious blend of Zweigelt, Lagrein, Merlot, and Chardonnay. Notes of cranberry, raspberry, and sour cherries. Light herbal aromatics like dried thyme dance in the background. Strong in structure, this wine would pair well with grilled pork chops or a creamy mushroom risotto. 

Herbal aromatics give way to cherry cola, strawberries, watermelon, and a crushed gravel minerality on the palate. Featuring 85% Cabernet Franc from our neighbors around Seneca Lake and 15% Blaüfrankisch from our home farm, the wine is vibrant in color and flavor. Lively acidity provides balance to the fruit, making it a perfect complement for food, like a goat cheese crostini topped with a berry compote.
