✨ Technical Specifications
Hailing from the wind-swept estates of Monterey County, Scheid Vineyards' Pinot Noir Rosé is a vibrant expression of cool-climate viticulture. The Salinas Valley is defined by the 'thermal engine' of the Monterey Bay, where cold marine air and morning fog roll through the vineyards, extending the growing season and preserving the natural acidity of the grapes. Crafted from estate-grown Pinot Noir, this rosé is produced using gentle pressing techniques to extract a delicate, pale salmon hue and bright red fruit aromatics. The winery's commitment to sustainability, including their 100% wind-powered facility, shines through in this clean, crisp, and lively wine that captures the coastal essence of California's central coast.
