Awards and Reviews
Finely scented and enticing, the bouquet shows watermelon, lemon zest, fig and rockmelon nuances, leading to a refreshing palate that's light and lingering. It's instantly appealing with youthful charm and drinkability. At its best: now to 2026. 94 Points Wine Orbit 2023 (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 25 March and 2 April 2022. 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.
