Winemaker's Notes: “Dear Lia” is a sparkling rosé built around intention, both in how it’s made and why it exists. Crafted from 100% estate Mourvèdre, the base wine is aged for six months before being carefully carbonated to create a fine, textured bubble that complements the wine rather than overpowering it. The result is bright and energetic, with a balance of citrus, subtle spice, and coastal freshness. This is a different expression from our Grenache Rosé, leaning more into structure and savory nuance while remaining refreshing and approachable. Pair with spicy tuna rolls, prosciutto and melon, or fish tacos with citrus crema.

Aging Potential: Now - 2029+

Additional Info: This wine is bottled in both a pressure-rated screw cap and bottle, allowing the wine to maintain carbonation after opening. This format was chosen intentionally to fit real-life moments, whether that’s a glass at home, a day at the beach, or sharing with friends. The use of Mourvèdre brings an uncommon depth and texture to sparkling rosé, offering a more layered and savory profile than typical styles.

“Dear Lia’ is a love letter to my wife as she stepped into motherhood, and to the idea of transformation that comes with it. The butterfly on the label represents that shift, something beautiful, powerful, and completely life-changing. I wanted this wine to feel just as thoughtful, something that could be opened easily, enjoyed in the moment, and shared without hesitation. It’s fresh but layered, and a little different from anything else we make, which feels fitting. This is a wine about love, change, and celebrating the moments that matter most.”
