"Concentrated, smooth-textured Rosé with peaches and cream, watermelon and strawberry flavours. An initial hint of sweetness is balanced by fruity acidity to give a gently drying finish. Charming wine" Bob Campbell, Master of Wine, Real Review, Sep 2023

"Elegantly styled and delicately expressed on the nose with raspberry, apricot, crunchy apple and lemon zest nuances, it's finely focused and lively in the mouth delivering pristine fruit flavours with bright acidity, finishing long and delightfully crisp. At its best: now to 2024" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Sep 2022

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.

Vintage 2022 provided the warmest weather on record in New Zealand. This along with favourable rain post-flowering set up a fantastic fruit crop for our 2022 wines. An early and compact harvest coupled with hard work allowed our talented winemakers to produce fabulous wines that rival the last two years vintages with well balanced flavour and acidity.

The grapes were sourced from a number of vineyard sites in Hawke’s Bay in the Bridge Pa and Havelock Hills sub-regions. A mix of Merlot and Malbec, the grapes were processed with minimal pressing on skins to give a touch of colour. A temperature controlled fermentation with selected  easts 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.
