Notes: While the main Love You Bunches wine continues to be a 100%
carbonic fermentation of Sangiovese, in 2019 we began making
Love You Bunches Rosé. For the rosé version of Love You
Bunches, the fruit is pressed much more quickly for a beautiful
pink-hued rose. Grapes rest whole for 12-24 hours as carbonic
fermentation begins, absorbing just a touch of pigment and
texture.
The pun “Love You Bunches” refers to our extra “loving”
treatment of grape bunches during harvest when the clusters are
destined for carbonic fermentation. Clusters must be kept intact
and un-crushed, for fermentation to begin within each grape. Of
course, the simple, whimsical label is the perfect fit for these fun,
happy wines.
The lettering shows off the singularly unique
penmanship of vineyard manager, El Padrino, The Grape
Whisperer and our favorite human on earth, Ruben Solorzano.
Healthy winter rain, almost mirroring 2023 precipitation pattern, set us
off on a relatively late bud break. The vines naturally set a lighter crop
than 2023, and minimal cluster thinning was needed as the vines had
already balanced themselves. Summer proved beautifully moderate
and weather didn’t warm up until the second week of September.
Picking Grenache Rosé for Love You Bunches tested our patience, as
sugars slowly ticked up, aided by consistent warmth in September.
The most aromatic LYB rose to date, wafting strawberry-watermelon
fills the entire room let alone the glass. The “straw-melon” blast crescendos
through the front and mid-palate with an extra layer of yum over the
taut bone dry structure. Already delectable upon release, the rosé
delivers a proper dose of pent up verve that will continue to be
unleashed for the next year.
