Our first commercial Rosé is also the first release from our Annadel Estate Vineyard. The wine started life as a saignée de cuve (literally, "bleeding the tank") from four different Rhone varietals – where we get the "4-Part" name from.
Our dry 4-Part Rosé is more serious than your usual California fruit bomb. The blend is 40% Syrah, 28% Grenache, 17% Mourvedre and 15% Counoise from our Estate.
This Rosé may be Westwood's most versatile wine ever, in terms of pairing with food. It has been a great match with every dish we have tried it with, including hard-to-pair things like asparagus and artichoke. It is supremely good with mussels, clams or fish poached in wine with fennel, garlic and tomato, and pairs nicely with raw oysters. It is a perfect Summer wine, but we plan to keep a bunch around for Holiday meals – it is a wonderful match with turkey and ham.
