A lush, pretty Rosé, showing notes of delicate summer orchard and berry fruits, interlaced with pear drop floral notes. The palate shows depth and concentration, yet remains vibrant, refreshing and dry. A delicious drink!

After a mild winter, there was a period of quite heavy frost events that kept the vineyard team on their toes. After overcoming this, growth was great and consistent across the whole vineyard. During flowering, lower temperatures and rainfall did not allow all of the flowers to set and culminated in many flowers setting at different times. This resulted in markedly small bunches and a good deal of hen and chicken through the vineyard. During the last piece of the growing season, the weather was on their side and provided beautiful summer days yet cold nights that aided in retaining decent acidity, and extremely clean fruit which enabled the team to make picking decisions at exactly the right moment. They will remember this vintage as being one of the best yet for overall quality - full of flavours but very light on yields.

Certified organic grapes were machine harvested, then pressed immediately and chilled to cold settle. The clear juice was then carefully racked into a stainless-steel vessel. A long, cool fermentation proceeded, to enhance the bright, vivacious aromatics of Pinot Gris and Riesling. After a short period on lees, batches of Pinot Gris, Riesling and Pinot Noir (that had been traditionally made with three weeks macerating on skins) were blended, stabilised and filtered prior to bottling.
