This rosé is a delightful dry wine crafted from a blend of Merlot and the aromatic (Gewürztraminer) grape. Its color ranges from a delicate light pink to a deeper, more intense pink depending on the vintage, and it consistently presents a light body that is both refreshing and flavorful.
The wine's lower alcohol content, a result of harvesting the Merlot grapes slightly earlier than usual, contributes to its exceptional drinkability. Despite its lightness, it offers a full spectrum of aromas and a lingering finish.
The primary aromas are characteristic of Merlot, showcasing a medley of berries like raspberries, blackberries, and currants. These are beautifully intertwined with the distinctive notes of Gewürztraminer, particularly rose petals, which become more pronounced when the Gewürztraminer grapes are harvested slightly later than they would be for a single-varietal wine.
This unique blend captures the essence of both varieties, resulting in a rosé that is both elegant and approachable, perfect for any occasion.

Harvested in late November or early December, the grapes for "Sweet Lena" achieve a state of noble rot, or botrytis cinerea, concentrating their sugars and flavors. This results in a wine with dominant aromas of citrus fruits like lemon and grapefruit, layered over even more intense notes of honey.
"Sweet Lena" is a complex wine with a rich structure, pronounced minerality, and a persistent, lingering finish. Despite its sweetness, it retains a vibrant acidity that provides balance and freshness. This acidity keeps the wine from being cloying and adds to its overall complexity.
Due to the specific conditions required for noble rot to develop, "Sweet Lena" is produced only in select vintages that favor this type of harvest. It is always crafted in limited quantities, with small batches of around 500 bottles, making it a rare and sought-after treasure for those who appreciate exceptional sweet wines.
This white wine is a harmonious blend of three distinct varieties: Sauvignon Blanc, Semillon, and Gewürztraminer. Each grape plays a crucial role in the final composition, contributing its unique character while complementing the others.

When Gewürztraminer is harvested later, the wine develops pronounced floral aromas, particularly reminiscent of roses. Semillon lends structure and a fuller body, creating a pleasing texture on the palate.
