2018 Dry Rose

Moraitis Rose 2018

When we visited Greece in the early summer of 2010, we fell in love with the wines from the Moraitis Estate located on the beautiful island of Paros. Owned by the Moraitis family, Manolis Moraitis' grandfather founded the winery in 1910 and today is working with one of his sons while his other son finishes school and the military. Moraitis is the only privately owned wine estate on the island and conducts all grape growing with organic methods. This luscious and lovely dry Rosé is made of a blend of indigenous Greek varieties: Mavraidano provides aromas of cherries and plums while the deeply colored Mandilaria grape gives lovely floral notes especially violets. This is clean, crisp and emminently drinkable. When we visited the estate, father Manolis and sons Theo and Savvas were our hosts, but their mom whipped up a light lunch for us including a super smooth, delicious Taramosalata (caviar spread), Parsley and Onion spread on toast topped with a kalamata olive and chunks of Graviera cheese (Greece's 'other famous' sheep's milk cheese). Graviera is more of their table cheese, and the Greek Feta cheese is used in the country's famous Tomato, feta, olive and crusty bread salad. This wine pairs well with all of the above! When you get it home, create something Greek-inspired and this wine will truly sing...

Alix Carlin Sancerre Rose 2018

Made by woman winemaker Alix Carlin who hails from Crézancy-en-Sancerre and crafts this tasty Rosé from limestone, clay and flint soils with organic methods. Full of flavor yet fresh and clean with a dry, mineral finish, this is ideal to serve with goat’s milk cheese, oysters, shellfish, white fish, salmon, sushi or as a refined aperitif. We are so excited to feature her Rosé, after having huge success with her Sancerre white. Alix Carlin took over this winery from her father, Jack Crisset. She is helped by her husband Nicolas Carlin. The work of the vine is governed by the rhythm of seasons. Winter is for pruning, including the 'Guyot' cutting, consisting in leaving a two "eye" spur and a shoot with 7 - 8 plain "eyes", as well as the ' Cordon de Royat' cutting, a simple or double repartition of 5 spurs over 1 or 2 branches lined along the wire guide. In Spring, the last stage of the cutting process takes place including bending of branches on the wire, de-budding in order to withdraw all excess buds and control productivity. Summer is for 'accolage', that is holding branches between 2 wires using hooks. In Autumn grapes are harvested from September to October. This Sancerre Rosé is made of 100% Pinot Noir, with pressing done so that the juice flows by gravity to limit the handling of pump. The vats are thermoregulated stainless steel. No use of oak for both the cuvée domaine in white and rosé to keep the wines fresh, pure and thirst-quenching.

Chateau Miraval Côtes de Provence Rosé 2018

Miraval is one of the hottest dry Rosé wines on the market and is made by the talented, quality-driven Marc Perrin. The Perrin family owns the illustrious Beaucastel estate in Châteauneuf-du-Pape and is considered one of the greatest wine estates in the world. Perrin converted the ancient Miraval vineyard to organic farming when he was hired by the Pitt-Jolie family. The estate is located in the Correns village of the Côtes de Provence region and Perrin blends classic, local grapes including Cinsault, Grenache, Syrah and Rolle to make this tasty, juicy, dry and stylish offering. We first tasted Miraval dry Rosé in the south of France and then once it arrived stateside three summers ago, we were anxious to bring it in. We positively loved it with tuna, salmon and yellowtail sushi all summer long. Serve with all types of Asian fare, salmon, shrimp, grilled meats and vegetables, fine cheeses, olives and more…the 2012 was a Top 100 Wine of the Year in 2013.

Cantele Negroamaro Rosato 2017

The Cantele (cahn-teh-lay) family originally hailed from Veneto, but Paolo Cantele's grandfather emigrated to Puglia and founded this family estate in 1979. We met Paolo here in Spring Lake when he visited the Bottle Shop for the first time, and tasted through the Cantele wines. We were impressed by the complexity, consistency and value across the board. Another interesting fact he shared with us is that Cantele adds even less sulfites than allowed by the legal organic limit. The estate is not organic, per se, but the vineyards are farmed sustainably. It helps that 80% of his family's vineyards are on the Adriatic Coast side of Puglia, giving the benefit of NW winds which keep the vines breezy and not too hot. The day we met Paolo we tasted the 2012 Rosato and it was surprisingly fresh and light on its feet even though it was 'last summer's vintage'....he said they do not mind drinking their dry Rose's with a little bottle age and we can see why. We sold lots of the 2013, 2014 and 2015 over the last three summers and now we have tasted and once again loved the 2016! When we eat pizza, arugula salad and meatballs in the summertime, this is the wine we crave!

Chateau d'Esclans Whispering Angel 2018

This dry Rose from Provence is made by Sacha Lichine, son of Alexis Lichine from Chateau Prieure Lichine of Bordeaux. He worked at this family's former property during the summers of his youth and fell in love with wine. We found pink grapefruit, mint, roses and spices in a fresh, zippy, easy-going style in this offering. The color is a lovely pale salmon and the wine is made of mostly Grenache, with small percentages of Cinsault and a white grape::Rolle (aka Vermentino)n and Rolle. Whispering Angel was a great wine and food match with crabmeat and shrimp 'skinny' rolls followed by pan seared flounder sauteed in capers and lemon juice along with bok choy in fresh ginger and lemon olive oil. Whispering Angel is dry and easy-to-drink. We first discovered Whispering Angel years ago in Miami at the Fontainebleu where they were serving it poolside by-the-glass. This was long before the Whispering Angel - frenzy of popularity! We are so happy that people love dry Rose!!!

Hippolyte Reverdy Sancerre Rosé 2018

Hippolyte Reverdy’s family has been making wine in the village of Verdigny, a commune of Sancerre in the eastern Loire, for many generations—perhaps as far back as 1600. Traditional in nature, the farm was planted to multiple crops, and the Reverdys raised goats and made small quantities of wine from their own vines for local consumption. It was not until the end of World War II that Hippolyte began increasing his Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir production, selling it to accommodate increasing demands from Paris. Hippolyte and his three sons began bottling small quantities under their own label, although the lion’s share of the grapes was still being sold off to the local cave coopérative . Michel joined his father and brothers in 1971, shortly after finishing high school. Kermit Lynch began working with the domaine for the first time in 1983. Today, Michel farms fourteen hectares of vineyards on his own. Michel is a true farmer, working seven days a week, and wanting nothing more and nothing less. This Sancerre Rose is made of 100% Pinot Noir from vines averaging 30 years in age, planted in soils composed of siliceous clay and gravelly limestone. The vineyards are farmed with sustainable methods, and the wine is made in extremely small quantities.

This is the most famous producer of Dry Rosé in the world, located in southern France in Provence.

Diving Into Hampton Water Rose 2018

Town & Country reports: 'Jon Bon Jovi will always be loyal to his New Jersey roots, but the 55-year-old singer also happens to have a soft spot for the Hamptons—so much so, that he decided to launch a rosé brand inspired by summers spent on the East End. With the help of his 23-year-old son Jesse (who came up with the name and concept) and famed French winemaker Gerard Bertrand, Bon Jovi officially launched "Diving Into Hampton Water" with a soiree in February 2018 at the Versace Mansion during the South Beach Food and Wine Festival in Miami.' Hand-picked by the finest wine makers the South of France has to offer, Hampton Water Wine is made up of a classic blend of Grenache, Cinsault and Mourvèdre grapes. Graceful, elegant, and adventurous, they are calling her Pink, since this girl sure knows how to get the party started.,..when Pink’s around the fun is never far behind. But be warned when you’re with this girl you never know when day might turn to night…. and night into day. Rosé wine has a staple in the Bongiovi household for many years. ' We've always had a bit of an infatuation with it,' Jesse Bongiovi, the 23-year-old-son of rock icon Jon Bon Jovi, tells CNBC Make It. 'Whenever we'd go out to the Hamptons, we'd always bring cases and cases of the stuff. We like to think we were drinking it before it was cool.' About two years ago, the father-son duo were out on the porch enjoying a bottle with Jesse's college roommate, Ali Thomas. 'My dad had always referred to rosé as 'pink juice,' Bongiovi recalls. But that night, 'we said, 'no, no, no. We call it Hampton Water now.' We all kind of laughed about it and he was like, 'Aw man, that would be a funny name for a rosé.'

Scala Cirò Rosato 2018

New favorite Rosé alert! This Italian Rosato is made of 100% Gaglioppo from estate vineyards located in Cirò (Crotone district) of Calabria, with a south/south-east exposure – sand and clay soil. It had such an abundant amount of ripe red berries, flowers, salinity, herbs and happy personality.. we just loved it! The vines were planted in 1987 and 1997 and are trained in espalier. The grapes are hand-picked during the first half of October. After removing the stalks, the grapes ferment for about 24 hours, then about 60% of the must is drawn off and fermentation continues for the rest in temperature-controlled containers set between 14° and 16° C. At the end of the alcoholic fermentation, the wine is racked and left in stainless steel tanks for at least 3 months. After bottling, the wine rests another month before release. Copper color, elegant and bright with fresh fruit and red flower notes. In the Scala family since 1949, the domaine is now run by Luigi Scala, who leads the production of Cirò wines following family traditions. From the growing of the grapes to the refinement and aging of the wines, he favors quality over quantity and aims to produce a distinguished Calabrian wine. The winery is truly a family business as Francisco Scala oversees the business side of the winery. Calabria is the region which looks like the 'toe' of the boot. East and north of Sicily, and surrounding by sea almost completely, which influences its climate as well as its mountainous terrain. Interestingly, Calabria has one of the oldest records of human presence in Italy, which date back to around 700,000 BC. Scala's vineyard is comprised of 18 hectares for an overall production of 100,000 bottles. Most of the grapes are native varieties such as Greco, Gaglioppo, Magliocco, Nerello and Mantonico. They are cultivated in espalier on the hinterland plains and hills, on argillaceous and sandy soil. For farming, Scala exclusively uses organic products, such as lupins to fertilize the vineyards; it provides the soil with nitrogen and helps eliminate weeds. Luigi's grandfather used indigenous yeasts, but the current winemaker chooses to inoculate. They are now certified organic, starting with the 2016 vintage.
