From a winery that focuses mostly on sparkling wines, this still Rosé stands out as something very special. Beautiful rose petal, plum and wild berry. Savory, meaty and loaded with herbs. This wine is a uniquely refreshing alternative to traditional Rosé – you don’t often come across a Merlot Rosé. Utterly lip-smacking, this wine is a delightful expression of how beautiful this grape variety can be. Merlot is an unsung hero when it comes to rose. We've always loved the refreshing citrus and stone fruit flavors it showcases, and we picked the grapes a bit on the leaner side to make sure it was light and fresh. The name "Summer Hum" is a reference to the Lorine Niedecker poem "Paen to Place." The original label art was created by Madeleine Tonzi.
Delicious With

Great with medium-rich proteins like roast duck, turkey, and lean cuts of beef. Perfect complement to root vegetables, olives, mushrooms, and lasagna.

Their Cred

Hammerling Wines was founded in 2018. The goal of the project is to explore cool-climate California vineyards along the coast through the lens of low-intervention sparkling wine. Winemaker and founder, Josh Hammerling, started working in cellars, vineyards and tasting rooms in Washington in 2014. Many low-intervention experiments in friends’ garages led to a fascination with classic and experimental expressions of sparkling wine. In 2017 he moved to Berkeley to work for some of our favorite wineries, Broc Cellars and Donkey and Goat, while he got his project off the ground. He settled in Berkeley for his winery to take advantage of its proximity to the Central Coast to the south and Mendocino to the north. It’s the ideal location for sourcing fruit from distinctive, responsibly farmed vineyards.
