Sippin’ on Summertime with Malene Rosé
Summer is our favorite season because the warm afternoons and gorgeous long evenings pair perfectly with rosé! Whether you are poolside, picnicking, or enjoying a backyard BBQ with friends, our limited-production lineup of crisp French-style rosés provide the perfect accompaniment.
New Release Estate Grenache Rosé
We are thrilled to announce the release of our very first estate-grown wine, the 2021 Estate Rosé of Grenache! Our vineyard and winemaking teams chose the perfect block on our vineyard to plant the grapes that are grown exclusively for this wine. After several years of tender care, these vines produced our first harvest in 2021, and we were able to create our first vintage of this small lot wine. Because of the very limited production quantities, it will be released only to wine club members, and will not be available to purchase by the public.
