Description
"Super-smooth rosé with peaches and cream, strawberry and a hint of red rose flavours. Made in an off-dry style, its a flavoursome wine with a moderately drying finish. Should have wide appeal." Bob Campbell, Master of Wine, Real Review
This wine displays vibrant pomegranate and watermelon aromas. The palate has complexity and softness complimented by fresh red berry sorbet notes and a lingering, dry finish.
Grown within the Waenga silty loam soils of our lower terraces the Pinot Noir vines for our Rose express opulent berry flavours with a light tannin profile.
Budburst on the 6th of October was normal however by late October we had unseasonably warm weather leading to flowering 2 weeks early. With heat waves continuing into January we were tracking well ahead of any previous harvests. Some storm events in February could still not halt the rapid ripening of the grape berries and we started our harvest the first week of March. Hand-harvested fruit was cold-soaked for 24 or 48hrs before pressing the coloured juice off the grape skins. The juice was fermented cool using selected aromatic yeast. A small portion was fermented in old French oak barriques to add a hint of caramel to the palate.
Food Pairing: This wine is enjoyable on its own or alongside foods such as a salmon or seared scallops.
