Description
"Fresh and fragrant, this charming rose shows white stone fruit, watermelon, citrus and floral aromas on the nose, followed by a vibrant palate that is juicy and bright with attractive fruit flavours and refreshing acidity. Beautifully balanced and flavoursome, while remaining elegant and delightfully dry." Sam Kim, Wine Orbit.
This dry style of rosé is made to be enjoyed day or night, with food or without. Lifted aromas of stone fruit, rockmelon, watermelon and floral characters lead to a flavour-packed palate that is refreshing and succulent with a hint of sweetness, beautifully balanced by bright acidity.
The juice for this wine is given around two hours of skin contact to achieve light colour, before being pressed, settled and fermented in the same way as we normally make our white wines. The wine was aged on lees for a few months to increase the palate richness and balance. It was lightly fined and filtered
Don’t be fooled by his look, Mister is a modern Hawke’s Bay love story. The love of the grape, the land, the adventure and the road that led you there. Slightly left of centre, Mister is as clever as it is curious, as bold as it is beautiful, dapper in dress-sense only and modern to the core. So, banish the kerchief to your back pocket and settle in. Understated, never. Magnificent, always.
