May Releases

Longer days, sunlit evenings, and the return of fresh coastal fare mark the arrival of summer, and with it, two stunning new releases that reflect the beauty and nuance of our estate.

From what may be the only vineyard block in California planted and farmed specifically for rosé, our 2024 Malene Estate Rosé of Grenache is anything but typical. Crafted with precision and treated with the same care as our top tier whites, this vintage is layered, expressive, and built to evolve. Aromas of white peach, green strawberry, and delicate white flowers rise from the glass, grounded by wet stone minerality and a trace of sea breeze salinity. A touch of new oak and extended lees contact adds supple texture and depth, while vibrant natural acidity brings clarity and lift.

Also arriving this season, the 2023 Califa Pinot Noir, sourced primarily from the east-facing slopes of our iconic Morrito block. Grown in nutrient poor Tierra Sandy Loam soils, this vintage offers a vivid expression of site. Bright cranberry and ripe raspberry aromas mingle with rose petal and dried sage, while a silky mid-palate and delicate oak finish provide elegant structure and length.

This summer’s releases showcase the depth of our estate with a vibrant textured Rosé of Grenache and a finely detailed Califa Pinot Noir, each a pure reflection of our coastal vineyards and careful craft.

Summer at the Estate

Summer is when the vineyard truly comes to life. The vines are full, the breeze carries the scent of the sea, and our event calendar is in full swing. From intimate winemaker dinners to relaxed patio gatherings, each experience celebrates the season with coastal wines, warm evenings, and memorable company.

We’re also excited to offer something new. As a valued member, you’ll receive a complimentary Member for a Day tasting pass, a chance to share your favorite wines and introduce friends or guests to the place you call your wine home. It’s a small gesture of thanks for being part of our Chamily.

Plan your visit, check out the full event lineup, and enjoy everything summer at Chamisal has to offer. Great wine is meant to be shared, and there’s no place quite like the estate to do just that.

To ensure you don’t miss out on these exclusive experiences, we encourage you to mark your calendars and book now.
