2024 Cabyrah Rosé

TASTING NOTES
The 2024 Cabyrah Rosé is a radiant expression of two powerhouse varietals—Cabernet Franc and Syrah—brought together in a seamless blend (54% Syrah/46% Cabernet Franc). This vibrant rosé opens with lifted aromas of ripe strawberry, watermelon rind, rose petal, and a whisper of white pepper. On the palate, it is both silky and fresh, revealing notes of red currant, blood orange, and stone fruit layered with a subtle minerality. The Cabernet Franc brings finesse and aromatic lift, while the Syrah lends depth, structure, and a kiss of spice. The finish is crisp and lingering, leaving behind a trace of wild berries and summer herbs.

FOOD PAIRINGS
The bright yet layered character of the 2024 Cabyrah Rosé pairs effortlessly with:

• Grilled shrimp with lemon and herbs, echoing the wine’s citrusy lift

• Prosciutto-wrapped melon, a salty-sweet match to its vibrant fruit

• Niçoise salad with seared tuna, complementing both freshness and structure

• Wood-fired Margherita pizza, where acidity balances the richness of mozzarella

• Goat cheese tart with caramelized onion, tying into the wine’s savory and floral notes

WINEMAKING
Crafted from estate-grown Cabernet Franc and Syrah, the grapes for the 2024 Cabyrah Rosé were harvested at dawn to preserve freshness. The fruit was gently whole-cluster pressed, then cold-settled before fermentation in stainless steel tanks at cool temperatures. This process preserved delicate aromatics and crisp acidity. A small portion was fermented in neutral oak barrels to enhance texture and complexity. The final blend was assembled just before bottling, allowing the Cabernet Franc’s elegance and aromatic charm to marry with Syrah’s generous fruit and spice. The result is a rosé of character, clarity, and irresistible charm.
