Introduction:
A uniquely crafted rosé from Washington’s Coyote Vineyard, the 2023 Upside Down Wines Rescue Rosé of Nebbioloshowcases the finesse and floral elegance of Nebbiolo through a vibrant, pink-hued lens—delicate yet nuanced, a standout in its style.
Terroir:
Grown in the Coyote Vineyard, nestled in Washington’s Columbia Valley, on well-drained sandy-loam soils influenced by diurnal temperature swings. The cooler nights preserve bright acidity and aromatic intensity in the Nebbiolo fruit.
Appearance:
Pale salmon with shimmering ruby reflections, its translucent hue hinting at both elegance and vibrancy.
Nose:
Inviting aromas of wild strawberry, red currant, and watermelon unfold, complemented by rose petal, dried thyme, and a subtle saline-mineral note—a charming Nebbiolo signature.
Palate:
Medium-bodied with a delicate yet structured mouthfeel. Flavors of raspberry, pomegranate, and tart cherry are supported by crisp acidity. Fine tannins provide backbone—uncommon in a rosé—and a saline-mineral vein underpins the fruit core.
Finish:
Clean and persistent, with lingering bright red berries, fresh herbs, and soft minerality that leave the palate refreshed and eager for the next sip.
Overall Impression:
A compelling and refined rosé that elevates Nebbiolo with its aromatic complexity and tension-driven structure. Excellent as a summer sipper, or paired with Niçoise salad, grilled shrimp, charcuterie, or light pasta dishes. Drink now through 2026.
