Tasting notes

The 10-day whole-cluster rest followed by foot treading and short maceration gives Rosehaze a chewy texture and subtle tannin grip that plain rosé never delivers. At 12% ABV with ripe red fruit, melon, and a clean funky finish, it is one of the more honest skin-contact wines coming out of California.

Rosehaze is a skin-contact Pinot Gris made by Noel Diaz of Purity Wine from CCOF-certified organically farmed fruit grown in Contra Costa County, California. The grapes were sourced from vineyards with granite and shallow clay/loam soils. Whole clusters were sealed and allowed to rest for 10 days, then lightly tread by foot and macerated for several hours before pressing.

After pressing, the fermenting juice was transferred to a poly tank where it completed fermentation using native yeasts over several weeks. The wine was bottled unfined and unfiltered with zero added sulfur dioxide. Production was limited to 130 cases. The only ingredient is grapes.

Despite its coral-pink color and hazy appearance, the extended skin contact puts this squarely in orange wine territory. At 12% ABV it sits light on its feet. The texture is chewy with ripe red fruit, melon, and a subtle funk on the finish. Serve slightly chilled but not icy cold.

The chewy texture and acidity make this a natural alongside grilled fish tacos, Vietnamese summer rolls, or a board of mild fresh cheeses. It can also handle spiced dishes like Thai larb or a chickpea curry where a bit of skin-contact grip helps cut through the heat.

Important Compliance Requirements

FedEx and other carriers we might occasionally use can only deliver wine to customers who are 21 years or older. Someone must be at the address to receive the package, carriers don't just drop a package and leave. They must ensure the person receiving the wine is 21 or older.


Re-shipping a Package

If a package is returned to us after three failed delivery attempts, we can only re-ship the wine upon payment of a re-shipping fee, to be determined based on the shipping address and number of bottles. Shipping wine is extremely expensive. We are sorry about this, but we have no other choice. Please make sure there's always someone at the address you enter as your shipping address.

If you'd like to receive a refund for a package that was returned to us after FedEx made three delivery attempts, we can do that but we must keep a $20 refund fee; FedEx charges us a lot of money for returns, unfortunately, I can't stress this enough.


Re-routing a Package

If you'd like to reroute a package after it's been shipped, we can do so for a $20 re-routing fee. We cannot re-route a package across state borders. For any change of address, please contact us as soon as possible, ideally within 1-2 days from placing the order or we cannot guarantee we'll be able to reroute or change your order's shipping address.


Canceling an Order

If you'd like to cancel an order after it's been shipped, we can do so upon payment of a small cancellation fee – the amount depends on the size of the order. Carriers charge us a lot of money to recall a package en-route.


Heat/Frost damage

We are not responsible for heat- or frost-related issues. We offer ice-packs upon request. Please let us know if you think that there could be heat-related issues. If we don't hear anything from you regarding weather issues before an order is shipped, or if you don't request a hold due to the weather, we are not responsible for heat/frost damage.

Producer profile

Purity Wine

Noel Diaz started making wine in 2013 after nearly 20 years working in restaurants. His path into winemaking was accelerated by completing the Wine and Spirits Education Trust Level 3 course just before the birth of his first child. By 2016, all fruit he sourced was grown organically. Starting in 2017, he began taking on vineyard leases in Contra Costa, Mendocino, and Calaveras Counties.

Also in 2017, Diaz moved production into a warehouse space in Richmond, California, where he built a collective of roughly 14 natural winemakers all fermenting under one roof. He later converted the front office into a bar called The Study. His wife Barrie Quan runs operations at the winery.

Diaz farms without synthetic chemicals, favoring no-till and regenerative practices to protect soil fungal systems and biodiversity. All wines are native yeast fermented, left unfined and unfiltered, and rarely have sulfur added. He publishes detailed winemaking notes on each label, including any sulfur additions, as a commitment to full ingredient transparency.

Wine region

Contra Costa County, USA

Contra Costa County sits approximately 50 miles east of San Francisco in the East Bay portion of the San Francisco Bay Area. The region gained official AVA status in April 2024 and is a sub-appellation of both the San Francisco Bay AVA and the Central Coast AVA. Elevations within the AVA are generally below 100 feet, with flat terrain giving way to rolling hills along its western and southern edges. The area experiences warm days and cool nights driven by afternoon breezes off the Delta, creating a significant diurnal temperature shift that preserves acidity in the fruit.

The vineyards around Oakley that define the heart of Contra Costa are planted in deep, ancient sandy soils, specifically Delhi sandy loam formed on alluvial sediment at the confluence of the Sacramento and San Joaquin rivers. These sandy soils allowed old-vine blocks to survive the phylloxera epidemic because the root louse cannot live in pure sand. Vineyards in other parts of the county, including those used by Purity Wine, sit on granite and shallow clay/loam soils. The region has been producing wine since the 1840s and still contains old-vine blocks over 100 years old.
