HISTORY

Our first Lytton Estate Rosé was 2016. Since then, each year, we make a rosé culled from the range of Rhône varieties and zinfandel planted throughout our Lytton Springs vineyard. Extemporaneously produced by taste, the makeup of the wine changes vintage-to-vintage. As such, each spring upon release it offers a unique opportunity to experience an old vineyard from a fresh angle.

FOOD PAIRING

Clams are at their best during the fall and winter months, so maximize the final weeks of warmer weather with this recipe that combines the freshness of the sea with vibrant acidity and notes of summer fruits. 

RECENT PRESS

Robert Parker Wine Advocate – 91 Points

“The 2023 Lytton Estate Rosé is a blend of 36% Grenache, 26% Zinfandel, 15% Mataro, 14% Cinsault and 9% Counoise, picked in seven separate passes. “I want that grippy, bracing acidity naturally,” winemaker Shauna Rosenblum says of the grapes harvested earlier at around 18° Brix. In subsequent picks, she explains, varieties like Grenache are picked at higher ripeness, around 22.5° Brix. The result is a polished rosé that combines full flavors, moderated ripeness and excellent freshness. It has bright aromas of cantaloupe, garrigue and freshly baked bread, and the light-bodied palate features mouthcoating peach and melon flavors, vibrant acidity and a long, spicy finish.” -Erin Brooks (September 2024)
