Stolpmen Love You Bunches Rose

If there were an award for 'Most Cheerful Wine Label,' Stolpman's Love You Bunches Rosé would be a strong contender. This playful name refers to both the bunches of Sangiovese grapes and the general feeling of joy this wine inspires – it's basically a love letter in liquid form. Made using carbonic maceration (whole grape bunches fermented intact), this technique creates a fresher, fruitier style that perfectly suits rosé. Stolpman has become a leader in California's new wave of lighter, brighter wines, and this bottling showcases their talent for making serious wines that don't take themselves too seriously. It's the kind of rosé that disappears suspiciously quickly at gatherings – fun, approachable, but with enough character to keep things interesting.
