The Monarch Challenge Rosé is more than just a wine—it's a call to action. Produced each year by RAEN Winery in support of biodiversity and regenerative agriculture, this bottling serves as a beacon for better farming. The 2023 vintage is a coastal blend of Pinot Noir and old-vine Grenache sourced from organically farmed vineyards, created to support environmental organizations like the Xerces Society and Sonoma County Wildlife Rescue. Crafted with delicacy and purpose, it honors our interconnection with nature and champions a future rooted in stewardship.
