Last House Midnite Négoce Rosé 2024

Last House is a tiny, family-run project in Prince Edward County that André Gagné started with his wife Debra as he entered retirement. After meeting and chatting with André, one can easily tell that this a winery built on pure love. 

Their Midnite Négoce project is made with grapes grown on the other side of the lake. For this dark, serious rosé, they source Cabernet Franc from Kevin Watson’s vineyard in Niagara’s Four Mile Creek. The grapes get just 12 hours on their skins, then ferment wild, mostly in stainless steel (they only get a 10% kissy kiss of oak). It’s unfined, unfiltered, and bottled by hand (EXCUSE-ME!?!?)

That's how they make the kind of rosé you want in your fridge all winter long. Resourceful, comforting, and ready for any improvised snack-dinner, solo or with friends. It smells of fresh-picked strawberries, wild herbs, and a squeeze of lemon. The palate is creamy and textured, with layers of raspberry, plum, mulled herbs, and a pinch of spice. It's bright and mouthwatering.
