Hunter's Marlborough Pinot Noir Rosé 2019
Description
- Strawberries & cream
- Raspberries
- Red plum
- 100% Pinot Noir grapes
Hunter’s Rosé shows a traditional pale blush pink colour which alludes to the fresh summer berry aromas of strawberry, raspberry and red plum. The rich, creamy palate is full and round with a long refreshing finish. The mouthfeel is wonderful and expresses summer to the senses. It’s the perfect summer wine!
The 2019 growing season was very warm and caused drought conditions in some parts of Marlborough. As our vineyards have good water security, we were able to avoid any issues arising from water stress. The vintage itself was very enjoyable. The rain stayed away, allowing us to pick the grapes at optimum ripeness. Quality will be very high across all varieties from the 2019 vintage.
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 is grown specifically for this so that we can maintain a sensible alcohol level and present a balanced wine. The Pinot Noir is grown in the famed Marlborough’s Wairau Valley. The cool fruit is de-stemmed and allowed to soak on the skins until we have the pale blush 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.
Food Pairing: We love this wine lightly chilled served as an aperitif or with fresh summer foods such as seafood, salads and Mediterranean dishes
