2023 Rosé
Starfield Estate El Dorado AVA
TASTING NOTES
The 2023 Rosé is a delightful expression of freshness and balance, crafted from a blend of Cinsaut and Grenache. This wine greets you with light and approachable aromas of fresh orange zest and a hint of candied lime peel, complemented by notes of watermelon and the subtle scent of wet slate after the first rain.
On the palate, the Rosé is bold and refreshing, yet perfectly balanced and crisp. Predominant flavors of citrus peels—lime, lemon, and grapefruit—create a vibrant and invigorating profile. This Rosé is ideal for sipping on warm days, offering a refreshing and satisfying experience. Enjoy now through 2026.
