Visit the Denier-Handel website
This newcomer to our wine offerings is the perfect summer wine for drinking as an apéritif or accompanying almost any summertime culinary feast.
This Rosé is bright medium pink. We make it in the style of Provence using the free run juice of our Alexander Valley Syrah with 10% or our Alexander Valley Petite Sirah and ferment the wine slowly at cool temperatures. This low fermentation allows the wine to maintain the fresh delicate aromatics and flavors of the grape. The wine is then cold stabilized and lightly filtered before bottling.
The perfume of this wine is of peaches, plums, cherries and rose petals. On the palate one senses vanilla, almonds, cherries, pineapple guava and a mild minerality. The tannins and acid are perfect. The wine has a nice fresh finish.

We have been farming winegrapes and producing wines in Ecuador, Chile, and California for over 27 years. Dick got started in Ecuador thanks to Don Angel Duran who took him under his wing teaching him about farming grapes. He was simply a farmer, the Mayordomo of a large hacienda in the highlands of the Andes outside of Quito, the capital of Ecuador, but he knew about grapes. While working for the Patron, he was sent to Argentina to learn viticulture. Unfortunately, he could never support his family making wine or Pisco. Then we met, and he found his chance to return to viticulture.
Although we grow mostly Cabernet Sauvignon we have small amounts of wonderful Zinfandel, Petite Sirah, Merlot and Syrah. Thanks to the guidance of Peter Wellington we were able to start produce excellent wines that he as winemaker, crafted. We are pleased to be able to share these wines with you.
