2025 FLEUR POUR MA MÈRE
FLEUR POUR MA MÈRE translates from French as a flower for my mother. People drink rosé wine for joyous occasions, whether at a picnic with friends or as an aperitif to start a delicious meal. This wine is meant to evoke a beautiful feeling of love and friendship. The FLEUR POUR MA MÈRE is a dedication to a mother who loved to garden, and who loved to live life in it’s most beautiful way.

Tasting Notes
Think : a strawberry lemonade with a thyme straw. Rich, but light, a gorgeous color in the glass, meant to sip with intent!
Details
RAFT WINES was started with this Syrah vineyard. When the opportunity to make wine presented itself, it was this vineyard that really got the wheels in motion. Weed Farms is tucked into a small corner off West Dry Creek Road, approximately 70 miles north of San Francisco. While a large portion of the valley is planted to Zinfandel, there are pockets of Rhone varietals scattered about. This particular vineyard is in a cool site, where winter temperatures can sometimes leave frost on the ground for the entire day. This makes for a surprisingly lighter-in-style Syrah in comparison to some of its neighbors. This vineyard is what we like to refer to as “beyond organic” – no spray ever. It gets pruned and mowed and that’s it!
As the industry is evolving, Raft Wines is too. I looked at a block on pick day for our red and said to myself, THAT should be my 2025 rosé, et voila, here she is!
Direct press whole cluster to tank to settle. Racked to barrel after primary fermentation, stirred once and settled. Just the way I like it.
