"Pristine and bright, the wine is fabulously expressed on the nose showing Gala apple, raspberry, nectarine and floral characters. It is light, juicy and flavoursome on the palate with terrific poise and vibrancy, finishing long and delicious. At its best: now to 2021" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Sep 2019
A fragrance of sweet spring blossoms, juicy red fruits and a hint of pink musk rose. Lovely on the palate with a delicate interplay of plum and red apple sweetness. Softly textured, fresh and mouth watering with flavours that linger. Perfect noon to night, for Rosé lovers, since Alpha Domus' first 1997 Rosé vintage.
Crafted from a block of Merlot that was part of the original plantings at Alpha Domus, more densely planted than other blocks of Merlot.
The grapes are ideally suited to making a pale, European inspired rosé. Harvested early at optimal ripeness for Rosé, the juice is quickly and gently pressed off skins to produce lightly coloured juice with perfect balance of fruit flavour, texture and brightness of acidity.
From its origins in 1989, establishing both vineyard and winery, Alpha Domus was a pioneer in the renowned Bridge Pa Triangle Wine District of Hawke’s Bay. New Zealand family owned, they have always been inspired to create beautiful wines of worth; the importance of quality and expert craftsmanship paramount. Alpha is derived from the first initials of the founding family members names in age descending order, Anthonius, Leonarda, Paulus, Henrikus and Anthony, Domus is Latin for home.
