Vinicultural Society
Rosé / 2025
This wine gleams with a vibrant coral-salmon hue, opening with lifted aromatics of wild strawberry, blood orange, and rose petal, layered with hints of citrus blossom and a touch of coastal minerality. The palate is bright yet textured, unfolding with flavors of raspberry, white peach, and a whisper of spice, balanced by a gentle savory edge. Fresh acidity and a graceful structure carry through to a clean, persistent finish, leaving impressions of red fruit and subtle herbal nuance.

The Buena Vista Vinicultural Society was formed in 1863 by the winery’s founder, Count Agoston Haraszthy, to further improve its winemaking prowess and expand its vineyards. The Vinicultural Society has been restored as a collection of unique small-production wines that honor the winery’s pioneering spirit and contribution to California winemaking. The collection of wines explores clonal selections, varietals, and the incredible terroir of Northern California.
