Awards
Beautifully fruited and elegantly perfumed, the wine shows red cherry, ripe strawberry, lemon peel and floral aromas on the nose, followed by a delightfully refreshing palate that’s filled with bright fruit flavours backed by crisp acidity, finishing long and lively. Wine Orbit (5 STARS)

Winemaking Notes
The fruit selected for this Rosé is 100% hand-harvested Pinot Noir (clones 115, 114 and 113). Harvest took place on 31 March and 4 April 2021. The fruit was whole bunch pressed to a stainless steel tank for cold settling for two days. The juice was then racked and the juice inoculated with selected wine yeast. The cool fermentation was stopped to retain a touch of residual sugar.
