Producer Description

The 61st Grammy Awards were taking place in Los Angeles the following day and Post Malone was wrapping up a long day of rehearsals with the Red Hot Chili Peppers at the Staples Center. Dre London rushed to their next meeting, where their longtime friend had introduced them to James Morrissey. James spent the evening describing a vineyard in the South of France, which was producing the most incredible Rosé he had ever tasted. Having an affinity for French wine, they talked about how they found themselves and their friends drinking more Rosé in recent years, but hadn't found a blend or brand that stood out as their favorite. So, they set out to create a high-quality Rosé from Provence that encourages good times and sharing with others. Working closely with winemaker Alexis Cornu, winner of fifteen gold medals and seven 90+ point rosé wines, the founders spent much of 2019 – in-between Post's sold-out tour dates – traveling frequently to the winery. They tried many grape varietals and sampled over fifty blends until they developed a new blend of premium rosé that they were happy with.
