About the Bicentennial Rosé Wines
In partnership with the Illinois Bicentennial Commission, the Illinois Grape Growers & Vintners Alliance selected 16 Illinois rosé wines to celebrate Illinois’ 200th birthday this year! In order to be selected, wines had to be still wines (not sparkling) and meet both quality and stylistic goals. These standards were established by collaborative efforts between industry members and grape and wine specialists. We were very excited to learn that our two August Hill rosé wines were selected as official Bicentennial wines.
