An organic wine grown in living soil. This Rose wine is a true reflection of the grape.

Clean and vibrant, a pure expression of New Zealand nature.

Aroma & Palate

his wine is a delicate tea-rose pink colour. It opens with a burst of juicy red fruit aromas, of strawberry, cranberry and raspberry sorbet which carry through to the palate.

Vibrant acidity is enhanced by a creamy texture and notes of vanilla pod. The wine culminates in a mouthwatering finish with hints of white peach.

Enjoy With

Try this wine with a warm goats cheese salad, scattered with toasted almonds, or a feast of fresh crab served with lemon butter and sourdough. This versatile wine will be at home with Chinese food such as hoisin pork and crunchy Asian slaw, or a fresh fruit dessert with whipped vanilla cream.

WINEMAKING DETAILS

The Pinot Noir for this wine was harvested on 25th March 2020, in optimal, dry harvest conditions. Machine harvesters were used and then the fruit immediately trucked to the winery for pressing. The sweetest free-run juice was taken from the press tray just as it took on enough skin colour and flavour for a delicate pink wine with red fruit notes.

This was fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks with indigenous yeast only, to promote complexity. After fermentation the wine was simply stabilised with minimal additions, then filtered to star bright clarity for bottling. No oak was used in the winemaking, as the emphasis was on preserving the varietal fruit aromas.
