Apollo’s Praise 'Nutt Road' Vineyard Seneca Lake Cabernet Franc Rosé 2025

A vibrant and beautifully lifted Cabernet Franc Rosé that captures the freshness and character of Seneca Lake’s cool-climate vineyards. Sourced from the Nutt Road Vineyard, the 2025 vintage offers an elegant balance of bright fruit, savory nuance, and crisp mineral energy.

The nose opens with expressive aromas of wild strawberry, watermelon rind, raspberry, and pink grapefruit, layered with delicate floral notes and hints of fresh herbs and crushed stone. On the palate, the wine is lively and precise, delivering juicy red berry flavors balanced by refreshing acidity and a subtle savory edge typical of Cabernet Franc. A clean mineral streak and gentle texture carry through to a dry, refreshing finish.

Fermented with a light touch to preserve purity and freshness, this rosé emphasizes vibrancy over weight, making it both approachable and quietly sophisticated. Its combination of bright fruit, tension, and subtle complexity makes it an ideal warm-weather wine while retaining enough structure to pair beautifully at the table.
