Browne Family Vineyards 2024 Gigi's Garden Red Wine 1000 ml

“Gigi’s Garden” is a signature line from Browne Family Vineyards, created to honor Elizabeth “Gigi” Pierce—grandmother of Andrew Browne—who loved gardening, herbs, and nurturing beauty in simple ways. The range includes one-liter bottlings of red and white wines (and a rosé in development) designed to evoke freshness, warmth, and an approachable house style.

In the Red Blend) expression, Browne presents a light-bodied red, meant to be enjoyed slightly chilled or at cellar-cool temperatures, with emphasis on red-fruit aromas, gentle tannins, and a graceful finish

Tasting Profile

• Color / Appearance: A bright ruby red, clear and medium in depth.

• Aromas / Nose: Delicate aromas of rose petal, cherry blossom, and red cherry. Soft floral notes meld with hints of Santa Rosa plum and light spice.

• Palate / Flavor: Fresh red fruits dominate—red cherry, plum, and red licorice. The texture is smooth with round, gentle tannins. There’s a touch of pomegranate seed and a whisper of sweetness or dried fruit near the close.

• Finish: Clean and unforced, with lingering red fruit and soft spice tones. It does not overstay its welcome; the finish is balanced and fresh.

Style, Serving & Pairings

• Style: Light, easy-drinking red blend with finesse rather than power. Browne wants Rouge to be a red that works in warmer months or casual settings.

• Serve: Slightly chilled (around 55–60 °F / 13–15 °C) to let the aromatics and freshness shine. Use a medium wine glass to allow gentle perfume evolution.

• Pairings:

  • Grilled salmon or tuna

  • Chicken or pork with light herb sauces

  • Light charcuterie, fresh or soft cheeses

  • Tomato-based pasta dishes (think Pomodoro or light ragù)

  • Summer fare—BBQ vegetables, pizza with fresh toppings
