Description

• Dry style

"Sweetly ripe and beautifully lifted on the nose with red cherry, watermelon, citrus peel and floral aromas, it's juicy and lively on the palate offering excellent fruit purity and intensity. It's light, bright and super tasty. At its best: now to 2023" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Feb 2022

Fresh strawberries, rock melon, and sherbet with hints of cherry blossom on the nose. Fresh and bright in the mouth, with loads of red fruits and candied apples. A mineral drive gives way to a long, slightly spicy finish.

The 2021 Rosé comes from the home vineyard in Te Awanga. Characterised by shallow volcanic soils, an underlying clay pan and a fresh, coastal climate.

Machine harvested and pressed straight away to achieve a light yet intense colour. Settled, racked and fermented at cool temperatures to retain freshness and aromatics. The wine was then aged on lees for a few months to increase the palate richness and balance before being lightly fined and filtered.

Wildsong wines are uncomplicated and grounded with a gentle tale or two to tell of the soil they were grown in and the people who made them. Grown with respect, made with heart and packed with attitude. There’s a little Wildsong in each of us.

Contains Sulphites, fined using milk and fish based products.
