This vibrant and fruit driven Rosé shows beautiful rose petal and strawberry characters on the nose. Fresh berry characters and juicy cherry notes leads onto a palate that is balanced and complex. Peach and nectarine characters lingers on the palate, with an off-dry texture that finishes full and creamy.

At the start of the growing season conditions was damp and humid with budburst slightly earlier than average. Some rain during the growing season provided plenty of nutrient but didn’t impact any fruit set. Mild summer conditions help with even ripening of the grapes which allowed perfect conditions for the fruit to be picked at optimum ripeness. Overall we received average yields with optimum quality fruit.

This wine is a blend of Pinot Noir, Merlot, Sauvignon Blanc and Riesling grapes with each variety contributing unique characteristics to the final wine. Fruit was picked in the cool of the morning. The Pinot Noir grapes were left to soak on skins for 24 hours to pick up some colour before pressing. The varieties were fermented separately before the wine was blended and Estate bottled.
