The Story Behind the Wine: Crafted by French winemaker Christophe Baron, Cayuse Vineyards is renowned for its biodynamic farming and Rhône-style wines. The Edith Grenache Rosé is sourced from the Armada Vineyard, planted in 2001, and is made from organically farmed Grenache grapes. Cayuse is known for its commitment to sustainable practices, and this rosé reflects the unique stony terroir of Walla Walla’s “stones” district. The 2020 vintage, with its careful attention to vineyard management, produced a wine that is both vibrant and elegant.
Fun Fact: Christophe Baron was the first to plant vines in the stony soils of Walla Walla, creating a new standard for Rhône varietals in the region. His commitment to biodynamics has made Cayuse a pioneer in sustainable winemaking.
