Amisfield Central Otago Pinot Noir Rosé 2016

Description

Lusciously pink with fresh watermelon and summer berry aromatics, crisp lingering fruit flavours and a dry finish.

Prior to harvest, 2016 was looking to be one of the driest vintages on record, but unstable weather during harvest brought challenging frosts and intermittent rain events, followed by damp warm conditions. 

In early summer we identified selected pinot noir blocks to be destined for the rosé. Vineyard management practices for these blocks was then adapted to produce fruit profiles specific to production of rosé.

Handpicked fruit was destemmed and whole grapes cold soaked for between 24 and 48 hours depending on the level of colour extraction and flavours of individual parcels of fruit. Specifically selected yeast were then used in a cool tank fermentation with a small portion of the fruit being fermented in old French barrels. Post fermentation maturation on light, fluffy lees for three months helped enhance palate weight and aromatics
