Their total production is about 950 cases. I believe they sell all of their rose to their wine club members (no waiting list! 20% case discount for everyone on 6+bottles! Plug-plug), and it was $20/bottle.

Despite the fact that this comes in a frosted bottle (yikes!) and has a label that smacks of Ralph Steadman doing Bonny Doon

Ameztoi Getarioko Txakolina Rubentis Rosado 2009
It is frizzante (or whatever the Basque term would be), light, totally refreshing. Strawberry and white peach flavors. This would be a killer substitute for Prosecco in a Bellini cocktail.

Matilda, one of my favorite roses on the planet comes from your part of the world and a winery whose other offerings I don't care for: Charles Melton's Rose of Virginia. And it's not only delicious right out of the box, several vintages I've owned have aged in the near term very well. Now I didn't let them go too long, but one misplaced bottle had the stuffing to get more interesting almost five years out.

Their Roses are so complex and comforting to the tongue. They use Tibouren in their Eternelle Favorite in the swanky cylindrical bottle...amazing! Nothing like I've ever tasted before and Tibouren is a hard grape to deal with.

I completely agree with you, Jenise. The Melton does age nicely. I cannot find it locally anymore, but if I could, I would buy it by the case.. some for now, some for a few years down the line.
