Description

"Light to medium salmon pink hue. The nose is fruity, grapy, flowery and faintly rose petal-ish. The wine is light and fruity in the mouth, with underpinning sweetness as well as vibrant acidity. It's just a bit too fruity and sweet for me to drink much of it. Good commercial style, though." Bob Campbell, Master of Wine

"Juicy, lifted red fruits bouquet with crushed strawberry and red apple, a light rose layer, white peach and stony mineral core. On the palate - juicy, fruity, plush, fresh and balanced; flavours of red berry fruits, plenty of acidity and wet stone mineral; balanced and well made." Cameron Douglas

100% Pinot Noir, Hunter’s Rosé shows a traditional pale pink colour which alludes to the fresh summer berry aromas of strawberry, raspberry and red plum. The palate is full and round with a long crisp finish. The mouthfeel is wonderful and expresses summer to the senses. It’s the perfect summer wine!

Spring was dry to start the growing season and late frosts in early December threaten but didn’t impact and fruit set was great. Some rain during the growing season in January provided plenty of nutrients and juicy weight to the fruit. A hot and dry summer delivered a harvest as smooth as can be with continuous fruit supply keeping the winery busy. Overall we received slightly above average yields with optimum quality fruit.

Food Pairing: We love this wine lightly chilled served as an aperitif or with fresh summer foods such as seafood , salads and Mediterranean dishes.
