2025 Dry Rose of Cabernet Franc: Finger Lakes / Seneca Lake AVA - $24 (New Release)
pH: 3.27, RS: 0.02%
Crafted with grapes sustainably grown on a West-facing slope overlooking Seneca Lake, this crisp and fruity dry Rose of Cabernet Franc was fermented and aged in stainless steel.
Inspiration for our Rose comes from Provence, France where the color is typically very pale pink or ‘salmon’ and the wines are dry, light bodied, and full of energy. This Rose offers notes of bright strawberries and white peach on the nose and palate with lively acidity and a flinty minerality on the finish.
Absolutely perfect for the warmer months and will pair well with grilled chicken and shrimp, salmon, ceviche, tuna, pizza, roasted vegetables and Mediterranean fare such as Greek salad, bruschetta, goat cheese and prosciutto.

VinePair: 90 points, One of ‘The 30 Best Cabernet Sauvignons for 2025‘
“Cabernet Sauvignon doesn’t typically thrive in cool-climate regions. That’s why it’s so impressive that Constantia coaxes out such a deep expression of the variety in the Finger Lakes. The grapes are sourced from a high-density vineyard on the eastern shore of Cayuga Lake on calcareous soils. The nose is subtle with dried wild berry aromas, but the palate is all about texture. The tannins are soft yet present and the depth is just right. It’s a structural success.”
