SOLD OUT
“Quite a robust, flavorsome Rose with a modest amount of sweetness restrained by light acidity and gentle tannins to give a nearly dry finish. Charming wine with cherry and hints of spice. 91/100, Four and a half stars” Bob Campbell MW
Pink but not girly.
Rosé is a joy – a wine to celebrate. It simply says summer, warmth and friends.
Cranberry and plums with hints of strawberry candy on the nose, leading through a rich and creamy palate to a persistant minerally finish with a hint of mandarin zest.
This chic wine is great with smoked salmon, runny Brie and alongside anything at Christmas.
Technical
Pinot Noir grapes from Flaxmore were hand harvested for the Rose at 23.4 Brix, 3.45pH and 6gL TA. The fruit was destemmed and soaked overnight prior to pressing. Smaller portions of juice were bled off from Pinot Noir ferments and fermented with the Flaxmore juice.
The fermentation was controlled to give a dry style and the wine was left on yeast lees briefly prior to stabilising. Analysis at August bottling was 3.51 pH, 5.5gL TA, 4.5 gL RS, and 13.5% Alcohol
“Dryish strawberries notes on this rosé - the aftertaste is succulent,soothing and sensational”. John Hawkesby RNZ
