"Very pale salmon-pink colour, near colourless on the rim. The nose is light and delicately fragrant with aromas of white stonefruits and subtle notes of red fruits and florals, along with thirst-quenching minerals. Dry to taste and light-medium bodied, the palate has a fine, elegantly concentrated core of white stonefruits with subtle red berry fruit and floral elements. The fruit has a delicate richness, balanced by mouthwatering mineral notes and light phenolic textures. The acidity provides good freshness, and the wine carries to a light, minerally finish. This is a delicate and finely concentrated dry rosé with stonefruit, berry and floral flavours and thirst-quenching minerals on a light-textured palate. This is in the Provencal rosé style. Serve as an aperitif and with canapes over the next 2 years. Predominantly Pinot Noir, 95% hand-picked and WBP, 5% saignee, fermented in stainless-steel with a small percentage with solids in barrel to 12.5% alc. and 4.2 g/L RS. A small portion of estate Syrah and Malbec was WBP and tank fermented and added to the final blend" Raymond Chan, Oct 2017

Peach and strawberry fruit aromas with an uplifting floral/ blossom note, with a dry and thirst quenching palate. There is underlying mineral and grapefruit component to the flavours that complement the aroma.

95% of the grapes were handpicked and whole bunch pressed, with 5% being a “ Saignee” of juice immediately drained from handpicked fruit destemmed to vats. A small portion was fermented on solids and in barrels with the remainder undergoing stainless steel tank fermentation. As well as the Pinot Noir a small percentage of Syrah and Malbec from our own vineyard was whole bunch pressed and fermented in tank to add to the final blend. This 2017 Rosé will retain its fresh, crisp personality for around two years, then begin to mellow and become more complex. It should remain attractive up to and possibly beyond 2020.
