About the Wine
The 2024 JUSTIN Rosé is a dry, aromatic, refreshing wine that reminds us that while Rosé is great on a hot summer day, it is also a versatile wine worth reaching for year-round. A Rosé of mostly Syrah, it is whole-cluster-pressed and fermented like a white wine. In the glass, it shows a beautiful salmon color with bright red fruit, crisp apple, and subtle herbal notes. It’s a perfect match for a wide variety of pairings – or enjoyed just on its own. This is a wine that is meant to be enjoyed at the table, poolside, beachside, outside, and especially with someone by your side.
Tasting Notes
Body
Appearance
Pale salmon pink with copper highlights and moderate tears forming in the glass.
Aroma
Aromatically intense, with wild strawberry, apricot, and orange zest, backed by notes of sea spray and savory white pepper.
Palate
Dry and medium-bodied, with red apple, watermelon, white peach, and cranberry on entry. White tea leaves and soft herbs ground the fresh fruit, with subtle notes of bergamot and flint carrying through the midpalate. The clean, moderately long finish is layered with sustained red fruit, salinity, and wet-stone minerality.
