Opawa Marlborough Rosé 2017

Description

This wine is a bright light salmon colour with a charming and vivacious nose of raspberries, floral notes and spices, leading into a mouth filling, smooth palate. The finish is fresh, clean and refreshing. Opawa Rosé is a dry wine that is a perfect aperitif or accompaniment to fresh summer cuisine.

Opawa Rosé is made from Pinot Noir grapes grown on selected stony sites in close proximity to the winery. The handpicked fruit is gently de-stemmed and left to soak on skins for a short period of time to release the colour before fermenting in a mixture of stainless steel tanks and old barrels before being bottled at the end of July 2017.

In Marlborough, classic Rapaura gravels absorb the sun’s warmth during the day, radiating back onto the grapes by moonlight, to create the highly aromatic flavours for which Marlborough is so highly reputed.
