Carol Shelton WT Rendezvous Rose 2024

Profile & Story

75% Carignane, 20% Zinfandel, 5% other (Barbera + Viognier). Carol Shelton’s Coquille Blanc 2024 is a Rhône-inspired white blend sourced from select vineyards in Paso Robles. Each varietal is harvested and fermented separately to preserve its unique character, then blended to achieve a harmonious balance of texture, aromatics, and freshness. Gentle barrel fermentation and careful lees stirring contribute to its layered complexity and elegant structure. A rendezvous with friends is all the more delicious a pleasure over a bottle of luscious chilled dry rosé, hence the name of our “Rendezvous Rosé.” Created by a “delayed saignée,” or bleeding off of half of the “pink” juice of red Carignane, Zinfandel and Petite Sirah grapes after about two days of cold maceration on the skins, it is fermented cold like a white wine to retain every delicious drop of crisp strawberry fruitiness.
