2021 "Chasing the Sunset" Rosé - Belong Wine Co.

Brilliantly tart and energetic bursts of young peach, lemon juice, delicate strawberry, Rainier cherry, and grapefruit zest lead a strikingly clean and refreshing display brimming with captivating earthy notes of crushed granite, Himalayan sea salt, and pronounced stony minerality. Hints of rose petal, cherry blossom, and baby's-breath gently appear within layers of delicate floral character interlaced with pleasant impressions of mint leaf, sage, and wild herbs. A distinct note of babbling brook further enhances the perception of clean mineral undertones that provide a unique sense of pristine crispness and bite. Tempting lean, restrained, and classically-styled on the palate with a bone-dry and unquestionably Provençal personality; exhibiting a pretty and thoroughly thirst-quenching presentation that is flawlessly executed and incredibly crushable. Light bodied and packed with deliciously high acidity. This 2021 "Chasing the Sunset" Rosé by Belong Wine Co. is an elegant and exciting rosé from El Dorado County. 

While the diversity of rosé styles being produced by wineries across the globe has increased dramatically in recent years, the famously pale-colored Provençal style continues to dominate the rosé landscape thanks to its ability to shape wines that are light, lively, and full of delicious mineral character. This bottling, crafted by Belong Wine Co. using a blend of 52% Mourvédre/24% Grenache/24% Cinsault sourced from El Dorado County in California's Sierra Foothills, is an outstanding example of why this style has remained so widely popular. This elegantly radiates with delicate and bright citrus, berry, and stone fruit backed by gorgeous stony minerality, dainty florals, and clean herbal components. This is a classically dry and food-friendly wine that is well suited to sipping during summertime, the holidays, or any season in-between. Yum.
