Casteñada Rosè
Derived from our beloved Casteñada Red Rhône varieties, this rosé undergoes a saignée process, where brief skin contact captures a hint of color, resulting in the vibrant pink. Notes of strawberry, watermelon jolly rancher, and subtle hints of pink sweet tarts dance on the palate. This refreshing wine seamlessly combines body and verve, creating a delightful harmony. A touch of dry red wine lends a light structure, expanding its versatility for a range of exquisite food pairings.

The Casteñada

Collection

Our commitment to stewardship of the land and people is reflected in our historical home, the Vallejo-Casteñada Adobe. The Adobe was initially built in 1842 by Salvador Vallejo, brother to General Mariano Vallejo, and has been lovingly restored as a Sonoma Landmark with the help of San Franciso designer Ken Fulk.

Our Casteñada Collection wines are delicious, field-blended Rhône varietals made to honor the long history of winemaking and growing in Sonoma Valley. Described as a party in a bottle, these wines are full of energy and life while harkening back to another era.

Saignée Method

ARTWORK BY SARAH DAVIS

There are so many reasons we love this wine – from its origin story to its unique packaging to its fun and flirty “sunshine-in-a-glass” vibe – but one of the most important reasons to love this wine is what happens in the cellar. We take an immense amount of care, time, focus, and energy to make the fruit from our estate vineyards to be the best wine it can be; our rosé is no different.

Our talented winemaking team takes our Casteñada Red Blend and uses the Saignée method, a technique that, when translated from French, means “to bleed.” While this approach is most often used in red wine to heighten concentration, we use it to enhance our rosé. While bright and tantalizing on the palate, this method gives our rose a wonderful mouth feel and roundness- making it a fan favorite amongst our supporters.
