Bald Hills Central Otago “Friends and Lovers” Rosé 2010

Download tasting note (39Kb .pdf) 2010 Rosé

Tasting Note:

The 2010 “Friends and Lovers” Rosé has an aroma of raspberries and peaches preceding a crisp, lively and lingering palate of red berry fruit, enhanced by just a touch of residual sugar.  The wine falls into the “off-dry” category.

Food Match:

Soft mellow cheeses such as farmhouse Brie or Ricotta.  Great with antipasto, light lunches and barbecues.  Delicious as an aperitif. Serve lightly chilled.

Viticulture and Winemaking:

This wine has been made from selected clones of Pinot Noir, 5, 6, 10/5 and Abel.

Vines are trained to VSP and are spur pruned.  The fruiting wire is 1 metre above ground level.

Juice is left in contact with the skins of this red grape for 48 hours to impart both flavour and the delightful salmon pink colour. 18% was barrel fermented in old neutral oak and the remainder fermented in stainless steel before blending.
