2018 Kings Carey Rosé

2018 Donkey & Goat ‘Isabel’s Cuvée’ Rosé
Who: Tracey and Jared Brandt
What: Grenache Gris
Where: Mendocino, California
How: This undergoes a few hours maceration before it is fermented in a mixture of oak vats and neutral oak barrels for 4 months.
Farming Method: Biodynamic
Fun Fact: This Rosé is ‘Isabel’s Cuvée’ and is named after one of the Brandt’s daughters, Isabel. Tracey and Jared were inspired to give Isabel her own cuvée because their wines frequently remind them of their daughters: free spirited and smile inducing. (And don’t worry, their daughter Lily has a cuvée too. Check out Lily’s Pét Nat in our sparkling wine section!)
Tasting Notes: Man, this is a wild ride. Guava, rosewater, tangerine, lychee, and blossoms!
