As one of our most popular wines, ‘Laura’s Love’ Rosé sells out every year, often before the end of summer, reflecting its distinctiveness and widespread appeal.”
“This entirely unique blend of Alvarinho (Albariño), Syrah, and Touriga Nacional is not often seen in Rosé wines,” said George Torquato, Winemaker at Alamitos Vineyards. “I love being challenged to craft distinctive wines like this, pushing the boundaries of traditional winemaking to create something truly special that resonates with our customers.”
