Description

• Dry style
• Fragrant florals
• Lemon zest
• Clean & crisp finish

"Bright, pale strawberry-pink colour with some depth, lighter on the rim with some purple hues. The nose is softly fresh with aromas of strawberries melded with quince and pomegranate, and subtle confectionary notes with red florals, revealing fresh, steely mineral nuances. Dry to taste and light-medium bodied, the fruit flavours are a little shy, and quite delicate showing subtle strawberry and pomegranate fruit with hints of red florals. This is uncomplicated. The mouthfeel is refreshing and lively with lacy acidity, and the wine flows along a light-textured line leading to a light finish. This is a delicate fruited dry Rosé with strawberry and pomegranate with refreshing acidity and easy flow. Serve as an aperitif and antipasto over the next 2 years" Raymond Chan, 2018

"Nicely ripe and lifted, the bouquet shows spiced apple, rockmelon, strawberry and lemon zest characters, followed by an elegantly weighted palate that is juicy and supple. The wine offers youthful charm and appeal, finishing long and crisp" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit

This Pinot Noir Rosé has a lovely bouquet of fragrant florals and berry fruits, which leads into an intense mouthful that has finesse and attractive texture, with delicate flavours that build and finish crisp and clean.

Harvested in the cool of the morning, the grapes were foot-stomped in the gondola before being trucked into the winery, where they were kept on skins for a short time and then pressed off.

After being separated from the skins, the pink juice was then slowly fermented under cool temperatures until the perfect balance between flavour and sweetness was achieved. Once finished, the wine was racked off lees and left to relax until bottling.

Food Pairing: Serve as an aperitif and antipasto, delicious with a couscous salad or raw or seared shellfish.
