From the winery: Planted in the 1940s, the Stampede Vineyard is an own-rooted Zinfandel planting in the toe-hills of the Sierra Nevada mountains within Lodi’s Clements Hills AVA. With soils composed of decomposed granite, the Stampede Vineyard lies on a parcel that overlooks an old riverbed on one side and the Clements Stampede rodeo grounds on the other. Brothers and Lodi-natives Jeff & John Perlegos impeccably farm this vineyard.

On August 19th, we picked our third vintage of rosé from the ancient vines at Stampede Vineyard in Clements Hills. We couldn't be happier with how the wine turned out. Pressed whole-cluster and fermented in stainless steel. A slow, cold fermentation led to a weightier and more textural rosé, but the wine is everything you'd want a California rosé to be. At only 12.5% alcohol, the wine has loads of acidity, but with a density and vivacity you'd expect from old vine Zinfandel.  Drink now and drink often. This wine* is* springtime.

Always good, the 2022 Pink Pegau has a bright salmon hue as well as classic peach and mulled strawberry notes along with some leafy herb nuances. It's clean, vibrant, and refreshing. - Jeb Dunnuck

From the winery: Distinguishing itself from pool rosés, Pink Pegau reveals its full potential around a summer meal with family or friends. Like the women of Château Pegau, the Cuvée Pink is an alliance of elegance and character through a blend of Cinsault, Grenache & Carignan.
