A true french style, dry rose’, this 2nd iteration springs to life with strawberry notes and a lingering peach finish.
Producer Description
In 2007 we embarked on a new venture for the ranch, winemaking. At the encouragement of close family members (Chris and Piper Underwood) we decided to put together our own label. Originally under the Shell Creek Vineyards moniker we started producing small lot, old vine Petite Sirah with the help of a wonderfully talented winemaker, Greg Stokes. Over the last 7 vintages and 10 years we have received several distinguished awards including a Double Gold at the San Francisco Chronicle Competition for our 2009 vintage. In 2017 we decided to harvest a small amount of Old Vine Chenin Blanc and Valdiguie9. We are making a clean, crisp, and 100% Chenin Blanc as well as a Rose9 of Valdiguie9. Along with these changes we decided to update the wine label and name to Avenales Ranch.
