Marlborough experienced rather high rainfall during the growing season, resulting in high moisture levels throughout the vineyard. Dewy mornings combined with good crops created a sense of nervousness heading into vintage. However, the weather remained stable, which meant we could pick our fruit when desired and the concentration and health of the fruit was outstanding. The resulting wine is showing highly concentrated flavours, with underlying purity and minerality.

The Parcels of fruit that created this rose were indvidually harvested. The Pinot Noir was handpicked and had extended skin contct in the press to achieve the desired colour and flavour, while the Pinot Gris parcels were gently pressed on arrival. The juice was then cold settled for 48 hours before it was racked to a range of fermentation vessels and yeasts, to help capture bright and fresh fruit characters, whilst also creating texture and complexity. Following fermentation, the wine was blended, stabilised and filtered prior to bottling.

Food Pairing: Can be enjoyed as an apreitif, or with fresh or smoked salmon dishes, soft cheeses or pizza. Suitable for vegetarians, vegans and a gluten free diet.
