Peter Yealands Marlborough Merlot Rosé 2016 (Lighter in Alcohol)
Peter Yealands Marlborough Merlot Rosé 2016 (Lighter in Alcohol)
Description
Bouquet has lifted notes of sun-warmed raspberry, with hints of plum and cream. The palate is plush and juicy, with a refreshingly fruity berry finish.
The 2016 vintage in Hawke’s Bay produced some light and fruity style Merlot, perfect for our Lighter in Alcohol Rosé. The Merlot was harvested on the first of April 2016. The wines this harvest are characterised by their freshness and elegance with good flavours and moderate alcohols. The Merlot was de-stemmed, chilled then soaked on the skins briefly in the press to extract an attractive pink hue. The fruit was then pressed off to a stainless steel tank and left to settle for two days.
Once settled, the clear juice was racked off and warmed before being inoculated with a yeast specially selected to enhance fresh and lifted fruity aromatics. A cool fermentation took place over 19 days. The wine was then racked, stabilised and filtered before bottling.
Food Pairing: Enjoy this wine chilled, with chèvre, prosciutto and fresh strawberries.
Suitable for vegetarians, vegans and gluten free diets.
