Description
It has a vibrant pink hue and its aroma shows hints of strawberry as well as complex nutty and yeasty notes. Its aroma shows hints of strawberry as well as complex nutty and yeasty notes. The palate has a strong Pinot Noir influence, a lovely creamy mid palate and it carries to a long, savoury, brut finish.
Chardonnay (62%) and Pinot Noir (38%) from several blocks on Akarua's estate vineyard are hand harvested before being whole bunch pressed in the winery. All batches are kept separate , whilst juices are settled and racked to fermentation in old oak barriques and stainless steel tanks. One Pinot Noir batch is fermented on skins to produce a red coloured base wine for inclusion in this blend. Once malolactic fermentation is complete the base wines, together with up to 15% of reserve wine that have been aged for several years in old French oak are blended to produce the Akarua NV Rosé. The red base wine that gives the Rosé its distinctive colour comprises about 10% of the blend.
Serve lightly chilled as a fine aperitif wine, ideal for celebrating with friends whenever and wherever you get together.
