- Well balanced acidity
This pretty light-peach coloured Rosé has the most enticing bouquet of red apple and cherry, watermelon, fresh strawberries and honeydew. A juicy, rich palate warmed with flavours of strawberry shortcake, and focused by well-balanced acidity.
This is the earliest harvest on record since their inception. There were late spring frosts in Marlborough and some challenging weather over the flowering period, which resulted in moderate crops and stunning fruit. Central Otago had a warm spring bringing steady growth and flowering. After a few late frosts, warm dry weather continued well into harvest. 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.
Pinot Gris and Pinot Noir parcels were individually harvested over a period of three weeks. The fruit was destemmed and then gently pressed. The juice was cold settled for 48 hours then racked prior to a long 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. The parcels were blended to add complexity and a pink hue, then stabilised and filtered prior to bottling.
Food Pairing: Try it with some creamy goats cheese, a light summer salad, or your favourite shellfish.
