Bedrock Wine Company, Rose of Mourvedre 'Ode to Lulu', 2023
is backordered and will ship as soon as it is back in stock.
Morgan Twain-Peterson’s Ode to Lulu pays homage to the legendary Lucie “Lulu” Peyraud of Domaine Tempier, who championed Mourvèdre-based rosé in Bandol. Sourced from old-vine plantings across California, this 2023 vintage continues Bedrock Wine Company’s commitment to crafting rosé with both freshness and depth, showcasing the grape’s natural structure while remaining effortlessly drinkable.
Delicate aromas of wild strawberries, watermelon, and white peach are layered with citrus zest, dried thyme, and a hint of crushed stone. The palate is crisp and vibrant, with mouthwatering acidity and a saline minerality that keeps it refreshing from start to finish. Compared to richer, more fruit-driven California rosés, Ode to Lulu leans into elegance and restraint, making it a serious yet joyful expression of Mourvèdre.
Perfect for warm afternoons, seaside picnics, or pairing with Mediterranean fare like grilled seafood, Niçoise salad, or charcuterie, this rosé is as versatile as it is delicious. Best enjoyed young for its bright energy, but its balance suggests it could develop intriguing complexity over the next few years. A must-have for lovers of classic, mineral-driven rosé.
