Rootdown Wine Cellars Trousseau Rose St. Amant Vineyard 2025

Grape: Trousseau
Vintage: 2025
Type: Rose

Rootdown specializes in single-varietal, single-vineyard wines from organically farmed vineyards in Mendocino, Sonoma, and Amador Counties, producing refined expressions of varieties like Sangiovese, Pinot Noir, Riesling, Savagnin, and Trousseau. The stylistic hallmarks of Rootdown wines are distinct: low alcohol, high acidity, minimal intervention, native fermentations, little to no new oak, and very limited sulfur. 

Foot trodden and soaked on the skins for 24 hours. Once pressed off and settled in tank, the fermentation and aging happen in neutral oak barrels. Once the wine is dry, it is racked to tank as early as possible to retain the freshness of this rosé.

Alpine strawberry, sage, and subtle spice, leading to a palate with natural green apple acidity, delicate tea-like tannins, and a clean, stony finish.
