Grandeur is rooted in the belief that farming organically allows us to grow grapes that are in harmony with the land and craft wines that are alive in flavor. The inspiration for Grandeur comes from our first certified organic vineyard. A remote site nestled against the foothills, it has at its center a single oak tree. The gnarled trunk of this ancient Blue Oak houses a resident bee colony, an eloquent example of the symbiosis found in nature. Standing in the vineyard, the beauty and quietude make you feel as if time hasn’t touched this place. It has stood just like this, in all its grandeur, for thousands of years.
Our Rosé delights on first blush and long after, with aromas of peach, pear, and watermelon. Light to medium-bodied with a crisp finish, it awakens the palate and satisfies taste after taste with lingering notes of stone fruit and hints of the limestone that marks our land. Try it with soft cheeses, charcuterie, and seafood. Or enjoy it on its own as an exquisite apéritif.
Vineyard
Our holistic approach to organic farming sees each vineyard as an entire ecosystem where soil, trees, vines, insects, and wildlife exist together to the benefit of all. Nestled against the southernmost foothills of the Santa Lucia Range in the Hames Valley AVA, Grandeur’s vineyard home is ideally situated for growing Petite Sirah grapes. With long, warm days and chilly nights, this breathtaking site is ideal for the development of organic, high-quality fruit and beautiful, fruit-forward, complex wines.
Winemaking
Before it meets the glass before it makes the moment the moment, our Rosé begins with Petite Sirah grapes—cultivated with organic growing methods and picked carefully by hand. After harvest we move swiftly, pressing each whole cluster in a matter of hours to ensure minimal color pickup and achieve the faintest blush. Fermented with select yeast and aged in stainless steel at cool temperatures for two months, our Rosé displays bright fruit esters, sublime floral aromas, and the unmistakable essence of Grandeur.

Inspired by Beauty. Committed to Mother Nature.
Grandeur is rooted in the promise to preserve the magnificence of the land through organic growing practices and to produce wines that breathe with splendor and harmony. Within White Flower Vineyard, a single blue oak tree stands witness to the change of seasons and passage of time. Its gnarled trunk houses the vineyard’s most revered resident and the inspiration for Grandeur – a bee colony.
Our mission is simple: to craft impeccable, unforgettable wines in harmony with our planet. Using renewable energy and certified organic farming practices, Grandeur strives for better, one bottle at a time.
Tastes bone dry. Good acidity. Clean finish. Light bodied. Restrained. Not a deck sipper. Drink now. Not exciting but well-made. Not at all hot (I believe the 13 pct ABV).
This is a wine that needs food. I wrote down cheese and charcuterie, and I see the winery agrees. Because it goes down smoothly, I could see myself drinking too much of this while feasting on girl dinner. It would be delicious with prosciutto.
I wrote down that at $15 a bottle I’d be happy, so at these prices, if this is your kind of wine, it’s a great buy. I do think I’d get bored of it before I finished the case, so a good one to share, and great to stockpile if you host a lot of summer events.
@kaolis we think alike.
Schied is not my favorite and after a visit to their tasting room a few years back pretty much a pass on everything. Although the case price here is very attractive.

Enthusiast:
88 points. This Scheid family project is elevating organic grapes to a level that more people can find and afford. Aromas of dried citrus and turned earth meet with melon on the nose, while the palate is wrapped in a firm texture as snappy plum and clay flavors align. — Matt Kettmann 7/1/23
Tasting Panel:
93 points. From the Scheid family’s certified organic vineyard, this rosé of Petite Sirah is whole-cluster pressed and results in a shy salmon pink hue. Aged in stainless steel for two months, the aromatics are immediately perceptible: a perfume of roses, raspberries, and wet stone. Instantly juicy, with salty orange peel and guava, rose petals, and white cherry. The mouthfeel is clean although slightly dusted from limestone soils. The flavors are carried to the finish by pink grapefruit and fresh linen, with a touch of sweet basil. Merideth May,

2022 Grandeur Rosé - $30 = 27.27%
I’m thrilled to be a rat and was delighted to receive the bottle well in advance, giving it plenty of time to chill in the fridge.
The color was a lovely pale pink. There wasn’t much on the nose, but I was able to detect melon notes along with a hint of light strawberry, possibly unripe.
On the palate, the wine was crisp and zippy, with decent acidity, and the melon flavor came through alongside green apple. Like most rosés, in my opinion, it wasn’t overly complex, but it would be perfect on a warm summer day. There’s also the added bonus of organic grapes being used.
I estimated this at $12-14 in the store, so seeing it now at $6 makes it an easy buy if you’re looking for a straightforward summer drink.
@Nel250 Thanks for the report! That “unripe” quality might be typical for Monterey Co fruit, or young Petite Sirah, or both. For $7 delivered, sounds like a summer quaffer I need.

Thanks for the edit, mods. I can never figure out how to embed images here on my phone.
@aces219 Thanks for the report! I’m in for a case.

I guess an organic wine cant be sold in PA. Only the toxic roundup ready ones are goid enough for us!
Without looking…Scheid label?
@kaolis that’s what I thought as soon as I saw it. They have no end of labels over there!

Any interest in a Bay Area split? I’m in Marin.
OK, the lab rats have convinced me that this is quite likely right up my alley. I’m in.
