Saddlehill Rose

Saddlehill Rose is a vibrant white wine crafted from estate-grown Chardonnay grapes at Saddlehill Winery & Vineyards, located in New Jersey, United States. It is bottled at 13.2% alcohol by volume (ABV). This expressive rose reflects the quality of New Jersey's delivering a bright, fruit-driven character with a refreshing balance.

The standout season for Saddlehill's vineyards rose in South Jersey. Smaller, more concentrated grapes were produced as a result of the period's persistently dry weather and conspicuous lack of precipitation. Saddlehill's winemaking team crafted a rose with remarkable purity and freshness, thanks to the ideal growing conditions that enhanced the wine's flavors and structure.

Saddlehill Rose opens with lively aromas of strawberry, watermelon, and citrus. Crisp acidity and delicate floral undertones balance these vibrant fruit notes on the palate to produce a well-balanced and refreshing wine. Because of its well-balanced structure, it can be paired with both light dishes and decadent desserts.

The wine pours a delicate, blush-pink, offering clear brilliance in the glass. Aromas of fresh strawberry, watermelon, and citrus zest greet the senses, followed by a palate bursting with juicy red fruits and refreshing acidity. The finish is soft and floral, leaving a clean, lingering impression that invites another sip.

Enjoy Saddlehill Rose well-chilled to bring out its crisp fruit profile. Serve it with seared tuna, grilled shrimp, or a platter of Mediterranean mezze, where the acidity of the wine brings out the bright, fresh flavors of the food. When combined with prosciutto or smoked salmon, it also enhances creamy cheeses like feta, ricotta, or goat cheese, creating the ideal harmony of salty and savory flavors. For lighter fare, serve with summer salads, heirloom tomatoes, burrata, or roasted vegetable flatbread. Finish the meal with sweet pairings like strawberry shortcake, peach cobbler, or lemon sorbet to highlight the wine's fruit-forward charm.

Saddlehill Rose is a refreshing and approachable wine that captures the spirit of the New Jersey growing season and Saddlehill's dedication to crafting expressive, estate-grown wines. Cheers!
