Founded in 2003, Matthiasson Wines is a farm-forward, husband-and-wife team based out of Napa, California. The Matthiassons consider themselves farmers above all. Their combined passion for the intersection of nature and winemaking informs the beautiful wines they produce, like this 2021 Rosé blend of Grenache, Mourvèdre, and Counoise. It is a very pale, rose petal color but is beautifully textured with subtle fruit flavors mingling with sunny acidity and a saline minerality that make the resulting wine crisp and delightfully easy to drink. The wine closes with a clean finish that refreshes and invites you to return for another sip.
