Post Flirtation Rosé NV No. 5

Our Post Flirtation wines have been described as “intergenerational crowd pleasers” and Post Flirtation Rosé celebrates the culmination of intergenerational efforts behind the scenes, too. The vineyard source of younger-vine Nero d’Avola for this non vintage blend is both dry farmed (non-irrigated) and employs head trained (goblet) vines. These agricultural practices are certainly not the short-cut to growing grapes commercially today (especially for rosé wines!), but the efforts produce distinctive wines full of concentration, particularly at lower alcohol, and allows the vineyard to develop slowly in order to preserve a longer lifespan. While we adore old, dry farmed vines—and will fight to keep them in the ground—it is equally important to us to seek out and support newer head trained, dry farmed plantings. Few people are still planting vineyards out this way, but these young, dry farmed vines will become the resilient, complex, and treasured old vines of future generations.
