"Bright, light salmon-pink colour with hints of purple on the rim.  The nose is delicate with fresh, ethereal and fragrant aromas of strawberries and raspberries and hints of cream with an amalgam of red florals and fresh herbs.  The aromatics are clean and gently mouthwatering.  Dry to taste and medium-bodied, the palate has elegant flavours with good intensity, showing strawberries and raspberries with lifted red florals.  The mouthfeel has sweetness and a little creaminess, balanced by a light, fine-textured thread and fresh acidity.  The aromatic fruit flavours carry with good linearity to a lingering finish with a little thirst-quenching spritz.  This is an elegant dry rosé with light strawberry and raspberry fruit with aromatic florals and a fresh thirst-quenching finish.  Match with canapes, tapas and dim sum over the next 2 years.  Hawke’s Bay fruit, 93.5% Merlot, 4.2% Malbec and 2.3% Gewurztraminer, cool-fermented to 13.1% alc. and 5 g/L RS."

"A charming rosé offering youthful vibrancy; the inviting bouquet shows raspberry, red apple, rockmelon and floral aromas, followed by a juicy palate that is bright and tasty. The wine offers attractive fruit flavours with smooth texture and refreshing acidity, making the wine instantly appealing and very easy on the palate. At its best: now to 2019" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Oct 2017

Delicate pink in the glass with an intense, bright fruit aroma of berry and tropical fruits. A soft, luscious and layered palate. Richly fruited with ripe strawberry and blackberry notes, the wine has a creamy mouth-feel that is reminiscent of strawberries and cream in the summertime.

The clarified juice was fermented at cool temperatures using selected yeast strains. After a brief period of settling the wine was racked, blended and bottled early in order to retain its bright primary fruit characters.

Food Pairing: Try this fresh glass of summer with seafood or light salads.
