Description
The 2015 Hunter’s Rosé is a blend of 75% Pinot Noir and 25% Merlot. The lush rosy pink colour alludes to the fresh summer berry aromas of strawberry, raspberry and red plum. The palate is full and round with a long crisp finish. It’s the perfect summer wine.
We love this wine lightly chilled served as an aperitif or with fresh summer foods such as seafood, salads and Mediterranean dishes.
Our goal is to preserve all the fresh characters we taste in the vineyard. We study all the fruit very carefully before deciding when to pick – we only have one chance each year. We pick in the cool of the morning and process the fruit under anaerobic conditions. Pinot Noir and Merlot is grown specifically for this Rosé so that we can maintain a sensible alcohol level and present a balanced wine. The cool fruit is de-stemmed and allowed to soak on the skins until we have the bright pink colour we desire. The fruit is then lightly pressed and fermented at lower temperatures to maintain its true fruit expressions. The wine spends a short time on lees to nurture its youthful character before the wine is cold stabilised, racked and filtered prior to bottling.
