Frog's Leap Pink La Grenouille Rougante 2023

High in acid, color, and tannin, Carignane requires a deft touch in the cellar to bring out its best qualities. Back when Frog's Leap made Rosé from the Valdiguié, they referred to the process as “two-beer” rosé — the grapes were left on the skins for about an hour, long enough to leisurely enjoy two beers. With the intensity of color from Carignane, it’s now more of a "shotgun-a-beer" Rosé — they begin pressing the grapes as soon as they enter the press, and that’s all that’s required to give the wine its beautiful color.

Blend: 100% Carignane
