Made from 70+ year old vine Carignane and 12% Valdiguie, Frog’s Leap “La Grenouille Rougante” (The Flying Frog) is an intentional rosĂ©, i.e. made like a white wine: grapes pressed off with juice barely affected by the red skins.
The result is a style of rosĂ© that Frog’s Leap makes as well as anyone in California. Get mandarin orange, subtle plum and strawberry fruits, citrus blossoms, white pepper and orange zest. Very dry and very healthy acidity…this is a white wine drinker’s preferred style of RosĂ© for sure. Think Provence/Southern France style.
