This rosé is produced in small quantities from Oakley, a traditional vineyard that contains vines over 100 years old.
Bright color and a refreshing taste produced by low-temperature fermentation.
Although it is somewhat dry, it has a slight fruity sweetness.
Fred Klein's grandfather was Valeriano Jacuzzi, inventor of the famous Jacuzzi bath.
His grandfather also left behind extensive vineyards in Contra Costa.
In the 1980s, while many others were uprooting their old vines and focusing on Cabernet and Chardonnay, he protected the old vineyards in Contra Costa left by his grandfather and continued to make wine focusing on traditional varieties such as Zinfandel and mouthwatering Rhone varieties.
Oakley vines, with roots extending 5-6 metres underground, do not require irrigation.
Klein also has fine vineyards on the Sonoma Coast and in Carneros.
This winery is full of old California charm and offers more than just Cabernet and Chardonnay.
It actively embraces natural farming practices and is also widely known as an environmentally friendly winery that is 100% solar-powered.
