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.

2024 The Monarch Challenge Rosé

The 2024 Monarch Challenge Rosé is a unique, coastal blend coming from our RAEN Pinot Noir lots, married with a block of beautiful, old vine Grenache, all hailing from organically farmed vineyards in line with the Monarch Challenge's goal of a cleaner, healthier, more brilliant planet.

The wine opens with a bouquet of sun-ripened wild strawberries, crushed white peach, and delicate whispers of freshly plucked apricots. Notes of wet stone, spring nectar, and lime blossom follow, weaving through the vibrant, red fruits before finishing with a touch of crushed river rock. On the palate, sweetened berries and white nectarine take center stage, leading into a zesty and flinty finish, with a lingering hint of citrus and strawberry.

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.

In celebration of Earth Day, our 2024 vintage is now available:
