The 515 Rosé takes its name from the daily ritual of its creators, who open a bottle each day at 5:15 p.m. — a tradition the winemaking team calls \"the enchanted hour.\" Fermentation takes place in jacketed stainless steel tanks at cool temperatures, a deliberate choice to preserve the aromatic intensity and fresh fruit character of the Moscato grapes sourced from California's Central Coast.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAroma:\u003c\/strong\u003e The nose opens with bright strawberry and watermelon, followed by citrus blossom and a subtle floral lift of rose petals.

The cool-fermented, stainless-steel production method keeps the Moscato grape's natural aromatics intact while delivering a distinctly dry finish, avoiding the sweetness many drinkers associate with Moscato-based wines.
