Tasting notes

This wine pulls off something genuinely tricky: a field blend of a dozen hybrid varieties that reads as cohesive, bright, and fruit-focused rather than funky or discordant. The combination of carbonic and foot-tread maceration gives it a soft texture and a red-fruit salad quality — strawberry, cranberry, cherry — with a dried-herb edge on the nose that keeps it interesting.

This rosé is sourced entirely from Amorici Vineyard in Washington County, New York — a site outside any formal AVA that grows roughly a dozen red, white, and pink cold-hardy hybrid varieties planted together in one field. The vineyard has moved to fully organic practices, and the grapes are co-farmed under that framework. Wild Arc Farm made 2020 their second vintage working with Amorici fruit.

All varieties were harvested together in a single pass. The fruit was carbonically macerated whole for two days, then foot-tread and macerated for two additional days before pressing into stainless steel tank. No fining, no filtration, and zero sulfur added at any point.

The result is a light, bright rosé with a red-fruit character driven by strawberry, cranberry, and cherry. The typical foxy or grapey quality associated with hybrid varieties largely disappears in this blend, giving way to a candied, juicy profile that sits firmly in the easy-drinking, glou-glou style. Dried herb and spice notes emerge on the nose before the fruit takes over with air.

Serve slightly chilled alongside charcuterie boards with cured meats, sharp cheeses, and cornichons. It holds up well against herb-forward dishes like falafel with tahini or a lentil salad with lemon and parsley. Also works with tomato-based pastas or grilled vegetables where you want a wine that won't compete.

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.

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.

Producer profile

Wild Arc Farm

Todd Cavallo and Crystal Cornish moved from Brooklyn to Pine Bush, in the northern tip of Orange County in the Hudson Valley, in 2016. They had no formal background in viticulture or winemaking — their prior fermentation experience was limited to home projects like pickles and beer. After settling on a roughly nine-acre property with a barn on a former perennial nursery, they obtained a farm winery license, bought half a ton of fruit from the Finger Lakes, and launched Wild Arc Farm.

Wild Arc operates about one acre of estate vines and personally farms or contract-farms roughly three additional acres, supplemented by purchased fruit from sites across New York State. Their own land is managed with regenerative organic methods; purchased fruit ranges from organic to conventional depending on the grower. The farm takes a permaculture approach to the estate, using guild planting with sea buckthorn, aronia berries, and companion shrubs between vine and fruit tree rows. Wild Arc is widely credited as a key driver of the piquette revival in the United States, repurposing pressed grape pomace into a low-alcohol fermented beverage.

Winemaking at Wild Arc is low-intervention across the board. Native yeast fermentation is standard. Techniques vary by wine and site: carbonic maceration, whole-cluster maceration, foot-treading, skin contact, and neutral oak aging all appear across the lineup depending on the grape and intended style. The Amorici Field Blend Rosé uses no added sulfur, no fining, and no filtration. Production is small — around 1,500 to 2,000 cases annually across all wines — and the majority is sold direct to consumers twice yearly via mailing list.

Wine region

Hudson Valley, USA

Washington County sits in upstate New York, northeast of the Hudson Valley proper and outside any existing AVA boundary. The area falls within the broader Upper Hudson wine zone, recognized as the Upper Hudson AVA in 2019. The climate here is cool and continental, with cold winters that make Vitis vinifera cultivation unreliable and favor cold-hardy hybrid varieties like Marquette, Frontenac, La Crescent, and Traminette. Soils in the region are well-drained with varied topography shaped by glacial activity. Annual precipitation runs moderate, and the growing season is shorter than southern New York regions.

The Hudson Valley as a whole contains two federally recognized AVAs: the Hudson River Region AVA, which extends from just north of New York City to Albany, and the Upper Hudson AVA north and west of Albany. Soils along the valley corridor vary considerably — schist, limestone, granite, gneiss, and glacially deposited alluvial material all appear across different sites. The region has the longest documented wine history in New York State, with French Huguenot plantings dating to the late 1600s. Today, there is a growing movement in the valley toward heritage hybrid varieties that perform reliably in the humid, cold northeastern climate and require fewer interventions in the vineyard.
