Who thought that the wind generated from the flap of a butterfly wing could change the world... that this motion from such a delicate creature could create waves that travel oceans and the breeze that fills the mountains with fresh air. We are ever connected... trees, bees, plants and nature all talk to each other and serve a sacred purpose. The Monarch Challenge is set to enlighten, encourage and connect our communities to farm and live in unison with nature and give back to the delicate circle of life.

2025 The Monarch Challenge Rosé

The 2025 Monarch Challenge Rosé hails from a special vineyard block of old vine Grenache farmed organically in line with the Monarch Challenge's goal of a cleaner, healthier, more brilliant planet.

The wine opens with a bouquet of lemon pith, just-ripe white nectarine, and crunchy apricot, all intertwined with wild foraged strawberries and a touch of wet rock. Delicate notes of chamomile, white rose petals, and wet gardenia follow, weaving through the vibrant fruit. On the palate, the Monarch Challenge is fresh and bright, where floral lemon blossom and lively citrus lift the crunchy stone fruits and wild berries. Wet rock and a fine, racy acidity carry the wine through a long, lasting finish.

Produced and bottled by RAEN Winery. Proceeds support the Monarch Challenge and allows RAEN to donate to the Xerces Society & the Sonoma County Wildlife Rescue, two organizations dedicated to protecting our planet, supporting biodiversity in our vineyards, farms and land.

Our 2025 vintage will become available in April. Join RAEN to receive notification of release.

The 2025 vintage marks the ninth Rosé release dedicated to the Monarch Challenge. Thanks to our friends and supporters, we are optimistic about the progress made and hopeful about the future for a cleaner, healthier and more brilliant planet. Thank you especially to our partners EuroStampa and Amorim Cork, who make this release possible each year.
