Southold Rouge Clair 2024

A modern take on the historic Bordeaux clairet tradition, Southold Farm & Cellars crafts Rouge Clair from 100% Merlot grown on old vines, channeling a style that sits somewhere between rosé and red. Sourced from cool, structured vineyard sites, it’s all about lift and tension rather than weight—bright, mineral-tinged, and built for a gentle chill, showing a more savory, stone-driven side of Merlot that feels distinctly coastal and contemporary.
