"Reasonably deep-coloured rosé with quite intense strawberry and cream, oyster shell, and raspberry flavours supported by tangy acidity that helps drive a lengthy finish. Bold, flavoursome rosé" Bob Campbell, Master of Wine, Real Review, Sep 2022

Vibrant and electric pink in colour, the nose exudes florals, rose water and bright red berries. The palate combines juicy watermelon and crunchy fresh pomegranate, delicately balancing a succulent mid palate with a refreshing dry finish.

Grown within the Waenga silty loam soils of the lower terraces, the Pinot Noir fruit for this Rosé express bright berry flavours with a light tannin profile.

A mild winter and spring provided ideal conditions at budbust and for flowering into December. No real wind or frost events allowed for excellent vine health and growth, with the strongest canopy we’d seen for years. The season was shaping up to be warmer than average, with expectations of an earlier start date to harvest, however the heat dropped off and a timely rainfall in the beginning of February returned us to our historical mean start date. During harvest we enjoyed extremely settled weather providing a wonderful picking window to bring in clean fruit of exceptional quality across the estate.
