Toi Toi Sara's New Zealand Light Rosé 2024

Description

Apple, Dry, Lemon

"It's delicately lifted on the nose, showing pomegranate, lemon zest and crunchy apple notes, followed by an elegantly weighted palate offering bright fruit flavours with crisp acidity, finishing vibrant and mouthwatering. At its best: now to 2026" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Jun 2024

Toi Toi Sara's Light 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 floral notes of fermentation. The floral spectrum is suggestive of Jasmin and Rose. It is light-weight and highly refreshing 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. Finish with a pleasing balance of fruit sweetness. 

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 comprises 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, nibbles. Enjoy outdoors in the sunshin, surrounded by friends and family, for the ultimate enjoyment. Sara's Light Rosé keeps all the greatness of Sara's Rosé but features 25% calories and lower in alcohol.
