Gallica Estate Rose St Helena Napa Valley 2024
Gallica Estate Rose St Helena Napa Valley 2024
Gallica [GAL-i-kuh] is a collection of organically farmed single vineyard wines by Rosemary Cakebread. With decades of experience at storied houses in Napa and Bordeaux Rosemary started making her own wine in 2007. Named as an ode to the ancient apothecary rose [rosa gallica], we honor what aromatics bring to wine. With devotion to single vineyard Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, Rosemary also explores less expected varietals from other growing regions that enchant her including Albariño, Grenache and Cabernet Franc. We strive to touch the land lightly, make wines honestly and bring beauty to the table.
The philosophy is a simple one: to craft elegant single vineyard wines farmed organically which accurately depict the site and the story of each unique vintage. GALLICA makes Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Grenache, Albariño, and limited bottlings of estate Cabernet Sauvignon and Petite Sirah. The estate is nestled in the heart of Napa Valley against the Mayacamas with nearby ambling Sulphur Creek. Surrounded by historic vineyards, coastal oaks, our gardens and olives. Our home is a handsome barn, contemporary and fresh, standing side by side with weathered vines.
Our Rosé is made the old fashioned way - whole clusters gently pressed to create the most perfect pink hue. We harvested Petite Sirah and Cabernet Sauvignon from our organically farmed Estate Vineyard early in the season to keep the finished wine delightfully dry, crisp and refreshing.
Fermentation took place in a selection of both stainless and neutral oak cooperage. Early to pick, first to bottle, and immediately approachable. We recommend enjoying the wine at cellar temperature with food to experience the lovely aromatics and complexity of the vintage. A joyful expression of alpine strawberry, a hint of white chocolate, oolong tea, and a note of savory jump out of the glass.
