2024 Maker’s Mistress Rose

Crafted from Mourvèdre vines planted in 2020, The Maker’s Mistress Rosé draws its name from the demands of winemaking—often stealing the time and attention of the maker. In every vintage, there’s an element of obsession, a commitment to coaxing the best from each vine, and the Rosé’s first vintage was nothing short of demanding. Inspired by arguably one of the world’s greatest rosés, Château de Pibarnon from the Provence region in southern France. These wines are typically packed full of ripe stone fruits, citrus, and florals, and surprisingly, they age exceptionally well. Most importantly,
rosé, when made with careful thought and intention, is remarkably versatile when it comes to food pairing—a topic the Kaesler winemaking and viticultural team is always discussing and debating!
