About the Wine
Our Steel Plow Vineyard – named in honor of our founder’s great‑great‑grandfather, John Deere, inventor of the iconic steel plow – cultivates an exceptional Rosé of Grenache. Sourced from our Kenwood Estate in Sonoma, rocky, sandy soils and a Rhône-like climate provide the perfect terrior for a Grenache. This elegant Rosé shines with a pale pink hue, bright strawberry aromas, and a crisp, refreshing acidity. It’s an ideal companion for spring brunches or any light, flavorful fare.
