Toi Toi Sara's Marlborough Rosé 2024

Description

Apricot, Cherry, Dry

"Bright and fresh, the inviting bouquet shows ripe strawberry, cherry, apricot and lemon peel aromas, leading to a lively palate that's juicy and refreshing. Finely expressed with youthful fruit flavours, making it immediately appealing" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Jun 2024

Toi Toi Sara's Rosé 2024 has a very pale pink colour with some purple hues. The aroma features strawberry and pear notes that form the basis of the aromatic profile along with the floral notes of fermentation. The floral specturm is suggestive of jasmine and rose. It is a full-bodied, rich wine but with a gentle softness on the palate. Along with the delicacy of colour and aroma we have preserved the beauty of this wine equally on the palate. Finishing with a pleasing balance of fruit sweetness and freshness.

The 2024 vintage has been crafted solely from the Hawke's Bay region. The Pinot Gris and Pinot Noir come from the Moteo Estate and make up 97.4% of the total volume, while the Merlot comes from Waikahu and comprisses the remaining 2.6%. Grapes were harvested in small parcels and lightly pressed to tank for clarification. The clear juice was fermented at cool temperatures with a selection of yeasts to preserve and enhance varietal aromas. Following fermentations the different tanks were blended together and bottled early to preserve the delicate colour and aromas.

Food Pairing: Although our refreshing Rosé is suitable for any season and pairs well with any meal, the ideal Rosé experience requires just a modest platter featuring your preferred local cheeses, fresh ingredients, and nibbles. Enjoy outdoors in the sunshine, surrounded by friends and family, for the ultimate enjoyment.
