2025 Lorenza Rose California 750 ml

For decades now, wine lovers have looked straight to the sea-sprayed coast of Provence for the ultimate in divine, elegant, mouthwatering rosé.

That’s where the mother-daughter team of Melinda Kearney and Michèle Ouellet found inspiration for one of our favorite rosés being made in California.

The gorgeous 2025 Lorenza Rosé is a California-born gem that delivers its Provençal inspiration in every sip. Hailing from one of the most storied regions in the Golden State, it’s a beautifully crafted wine made from vines that top a half-century in age. It’s also the only rosé this woman-owned winery makes, and it’ll have you dreaming of lazy days under the umbrellas at a Côte d’Azur café.

Kearney and Ouellet source all their fruit from Lodi, one of California wine’s most history-rich regions. From its ancient vineyards, Lodi delivers some of the most distinctive wines in the New World.

The blend is built on Grenache, Cinsault, Mourvèdre, and Carignan—the latter coming from head-trained vines yielding tiny, concentrated grapes. Cinsault comes in part from Lodi’s own-rooted Bechthold Vineyard, planted in 1886, one of the oldest continuously farmed vineyards in California.

Kearney and Ouellet press the grapes exceptionally gently then ferment them long and slow in stainless-steel tanks to preserve fresh-fruit flavor and vibrant acidity. The result is an everyday drinker that glows like its Provençal inspiration but delivers a uniquely Californian character.

In Lodi, 2025 was a cooler-than-normal growing season that winemakers were nearly unanimous in praising. Mild temperatures from bud break through harvest meant grapes ripened slowly and evenly, building bright natural acidity and concentrated flavors at lower sugar levels—conditions tailor-made for the kind of lean, vivid, low-alcohol rosé that Lorenza has always chased.

The winery describes 2025 as a gift of a vintage—stunning color, expressive aromatics, and a silky mouthfeel that balances the wine’s signature bright acidity.
