Sensory Description:

This rosé enchants from the first pour with its delicate hue and ethereal perfume. Notes of nectarine blossom and juicy satsuma rise from the glass, mingled with the warm spice of cassia. On the palate, it is energetic yet serene, with a silken texture and precise acidity that glides into a clean, mineral-driven finish. An elegant and emotionally resonant wine that captures the season’s sense of renewal.

Winemaker's Background:

Founded by New Zealand-born winemaker Angela Osborne, A Tribute to Grace is a heartfelt homage to her grandmother, Grace, and the ethos of grace itself. Angela arrived in California in 2006 in pursuit of the perfect terroir for Grenache—a grape unsuited to her native climate. She found her muse in the high-elevation vineyards of Santa Barbara County, where she launched her first vintage in 2007. Every wine she creates is 100% Grenache, single-vineyard sourced, and crafted with a minimalist, nature-first philosophy that emphasizes purity, energy, and spirit. The Queen Anne’s Lace that adorns each label reflects the circle of life and femininity that underpins her work.

Serving Suggestions:

Serve chilled at 10–12°C in a tulip-shaped glass to highlight its floral aromatics and lively structure. This rosé is a natural partner to spring fare—grilled prawns, fennel salad, citrus-dressed greens, or goat cheese tartines. It also shines on its own as a meditative aperitif or celebratory toast to life’s beautiful transitions.

The 2024 A Tribute to Grace Rosé of Grenache is a poetic ode to the seasons, to shared joy, and to the enduring elegance of Grenache—bottled with love and intended to be sipped in the company of friends, laughter, and new beginnings.
