A Tribute to Grace 'Highlands Vineyard' Rosé 2023

Angela Osborne, the driving force behind A Tribute To Grace Wine Company, is a passionate winemaker born in New Zealand. Her journey is dedicated to crafting authentic expressions of Grenache, and she has established a unique identity in the world of wine.

Having moved to California in 2006, Angela was driven by a dream to create exceptional Grenache wines, a pursuit made challenging by the cooler climate of her homeland. The quest for the perfect terroir took her on a global odyssey, exploring regions from northern Spain and southern France to southern Australia. It was the abundant sunshine and entrepreneurial spirit of California that ultimately beckoned her.

In 2007, Angela sourced her first Grenache fruit from the Santa Barbara Highlands Vineyard, a high-desert vineyard perched above the Pacific Ocean, located 33 miles inland. This vineyard offered the ideal blend of heat and light needed to ripen this sun-loving grape, setting the stage for the creation of truly remarkable wines.

The label, A Tribute To Grace, was aptly named after two cherished elements: Angela’s beloved Grandmother Grace and a deeply personal attribute. The intention behind the winemaking is to capture the essence of grace itself and remain as closely connected to nature as possible, reflecting the trio of grace in every bottle.

Winemaker Angela Osborne connects deeply with this single vineyard old-vine Grenache grown at 3200 ft. and uses biodynamic principles to convert the energy of the land into this graceful rosé. Angela foot treads the whole-cluster fruit before fermentation and to extract color for this Rosé, packed with delicate floral and stone fruit flavors with bright acidity and an herbal, anise-tinged finish.
