Early Mountain Rosé 2025 comes from Early Mountain Vineyards in Virginia's Blue Ridge foothills near Madison. Since its founding, the winery has become one of the state's benchmark producers, earning a reputation for thoughtful farming, meticulous winemaking, and demonstrating the remarkable potential of Virginia wine. The estate works with both its own vineyards and select growers across the state, crafting wines that balance freshness, precision, and a strong sense of place.
The 2025 Rosé is a blend of 82% merlot and 18% malbec, sourced from Virginia vineyards chosen for their bright fruit and natural acidity. Fermented in stainless steel with no oak influence, the wine is crafted to preserve purity, freshness, and vibrant aromatics while allowing the fruit to take center stage.
The 2025 vintage offers aromas of peach, strawberry, melon, grapefruit pith, and orange blossom, with subtle hints of mint. Crisp and refreshing, the palate combines lively acidity with a gentle texture and a clean, mineral driven finish. Dry, balanced, and exceptionally versatile, it pairs beautifully with seafood, grilled vegetables, salads, roast chicken, and warm weather gathering
