"Light and fresh, this is immediately appealing on the nose with sweet raspberry, citrus peel and floral aromas, leading to an elegantly flavoursome palate that's vibrant and lingering. Very tasty" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Aug 2021

Vibrant pink. Beautifully fragrant with notes of watermelon, strawberry and lifted florals. Bursting with red fruit flavours and a hint of spice, this is an elegant Rosé with a lingering crisp, dry finish.

The grapes were sourced from a number of vineyard sites in Hawke’s Bay in the Bridge Pa and Havelock Hills sub-regions.

Vintage 2021 has been of exceptional quality and the resulting wines will be celebrated and reflected on for many years to come. With a lower yield due to a combination of frosts and cooler weather during flowering, the grapes ripened quickly resulting in a compact and quick harvest.

A mix of Merlot, Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc, the grapes were processed with minimal pressing on skins to give a touch of colour. A temperature controlled fermentation with selected yeasts helped to preserve the aromatic flavours.

Food Pairing: Perfect for a picnic, enjoy slightly chilled with friends and family. Delicious as an aperitif and with long lunches.
