I have not had this winery’s products before but apparently they sustainably farm and vintner and founder Ian Devereux White says the release of La Fleur Ca Rosé is dedicated to his mother, Chef Lynne Devereux, while the design pays homage to Devereux’s French ancestry. He stated the following in regards to the upcoming release of La Fleur Ca Rosé:
“It’s a beautiful thing to be able to make a wine that pays homage to my family history and dedicated to the best chef and mom a guy could possibly hope for,”
