Description
This attractive, light peach coloured Rosé has an enticing bouquet of ripe red berries, red cherry and cream. A juicy, textured palate with flavours of strawberry and cherry ambrosia layered with well-balanced acidity and a crisp mineral finish.
The 2019 growing season in Marlborough was a hot and dry one. Vintage started in mid-March provided incredibly stable weather for growing Pinot Gris. Summer in Hawke’s Bay brought long warm days and cool nights, perfect for Merlot. Overall, the grapes had a luxurious ripening time, allowing flavours to fully develop while maintaining natural balance. This resulted in a Rosé that is filled with lifted aromatics and a beautiful concentrated mouthfeel.
The Pinot Gris parcels that created this Rosé were individually harvested over a period of two weeks. The fruit was destemmed and then gently pressed. The juice was cold settled for 48 hours then racked prior to a long cool fermentation in stainless steel tanks to capture bright, fresh fruit characters. Each parcel was fermented separately with a range of yeasts to build complexity and structure. Following fermentation, the wine was blended with a portion of Merlot for colour and complexity, stabilised and filtered prior to bottling.
Yealands wine is inspired by the coast that surrounds them, so close to the ocean that the vines are often misted with sea spray. The beauty of this environment influences how they craft wine, respectful of nature and the land. Yealands believes in sustainable winemaking and creating thoughtfully crafted wines that work in harmony with their landscape.
Food Pairing: Enjoy with goats cheese, light Summer salads or your favourite seafood.
