An intentional field blend of varietals grown in warmer viticultural sites intended to express ripe fruit aromatics and flavors. This is a rich style but maintains the bright acidity and dryness that is a signature of 51Weeks Winemaking rosé. In the spirit of how our winery dog, Champ, greets visitors with a bâton, we suggest you welcome your guests with a glass of ‘Bâton de Champ’!

A rich, ripe style of rosé. On the nose you’ll find red cherry, bright raspberry fruit leather, sugar plum and confectionary sugar. On the palate, you’ll experience cherry candy, watermelon, currant, and orange zest.
