Production & Heritage

Woodbridge was founded in 1979 by Robert Mondavi in Lodi, California—one of the state's most prolific wine-growing regions, known for warm days and cool delta breezes that help grapes retain acidity. The rosé is cold-fermented in stainless steel tanks, a technique that preserves delicate aromatics and keeps the fruit profile bright and clean. The Syrah and Tempranillo blend gives the wine its pale pink hue and layered berry character, while the Tetra Pak format offers a lighter, recyclable alternative to glass that also blocks light and oxygen for freshness.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Delicate floral notes rise first, followed by bright strawberry and a subtle hint of grapefruit zest. A light watermelon freshness sits underneath, giving the nose a summery, inviting quality.

Taste: The entry is soft and slightly sweet, with ripe strawberry and juicy watermelon dominating the front palate. Mid-palate, a gentle minerality emerges alongside peach tones, adding modest complexity. The overall impression is fruit-forward and uncomplicated, with enough acidity to keep it from feeling cloying.

Finish: Short and crisp, with lingering strawberry and a clean, slightly tart close. The wine wraps up without heaviness, inviting another sip almost immediately.

How to Drink Woodbridge Rosé

Serve well-chilled, ideally between 45–50°F, to highlight its crisp acidity and fruit aromatics. The Tetra Pak format makes it naturally suited for outdoor settings where glass is impractical. For cocktails, try a Frosé—the semisweet berry character freezes into a balanced slush without needing extra sugar. It also works in a Rosé Spritz, topped with sparkling water and a grapefruit wheel, where its light body keeps things refreshing. A Rosé Sangria loaded with fresh peaches and strawberries amplifies the wine's existing fruit notes into a crowd-friendly pitcher drink.

• Casual weeknight sipping without committing to a full 750ML bottle
• Poolside entertaining with a low-ABV, easy-drinking option
