"Pale, orange-tinted rosé in a dry and slightly austere style, with subtle summer fruits, fresh herb and spice flavours. Good food wine" Bob Campell, Master of wine, Real Review
Delicate light apricot hue, very bright and clear in clarity. Aromas of freshly poached peaches, citrus blossom and white flowers. On the palate fresh tropical fruits (papaya, pineapple, melon) dominate, with a broad, harmonious texture, creamy mouthfeel and lingering finish to the wine.
The fruit came from both Mountford Estate and selected vineyards all within 2 kilometres of Mountford Estate. All fruit was handpicked into small 15kg picking baskets and sorted for the highest quality fruit for this Rosé.
The vineyard is set in a park-like environment on the North West face of the Waipara Valley’s eastern hills below the Teviotdale range. Dubbed the golden mile, the aspect gains high amounts of light and heat. The soils, which are marl (active limestone), add a fine minerality to the finished wines.
Mountford Estate creates wines of character and quality through a policy of watchful, non-interventionist winemaking. A combination of new and traditional techniques and technology are used. Mountford Estate has transitioned to using native yeasts, low sulphur and like all past vintages our wines continue with a no fining or filtration policy where possible. We believe that this is the way to gain a true expression of site and vintage.
