Folk Machine Rose of Gamay 2025

Light, fresh, and vibrant,with aromas of grapefruit, orange peel, white peach, and lemon zest that carry over onto the zippy palate along with a complementary wet stone minerality. - D&M TASTING NOTES (02/2026)

PRODUCER NOTES:

OVERVIEW: “Another really fun vintage of Gamay Rosé. The wine is becoming more consistent as the vineyard ages. Lots of natural acidity giving it a mouthwatering sensation and refreshing character. The grapes were taken directly to press with just a short amount of maceration time during the transportation. Fermented in in stainless steel with temperature control to keep the fermenting juice cool and the fermentation slow, preserving the natural aromatics and flavors.”

VINEYARD & APPELLATION: Cedar Lane Vineyard (is a) very sandy site covered in "Greenfield Potatoes" (i.e. big rocks) and ideal for light aromatics and early ripening. Certified Sustainable Winegrower by the CSWA. (It is in the) Arroyo Seco AVA with the Santa Lucia Mountains to the West and the Pacific Ocean beyond that, and the Gavillans to the East,  Arroyo Seco is very cool and windy and often compared to Carneros."
