Made from hand-picked pinot noir, this light-pink rosé is mouthfilling and vibrantly fruity. It has strong strawberry and spice flavours, hints of peach and apricot and a fresh, basically dry, persistent finish. Michael Cooper (5 STARS)
It's elegantly expressed on the nose showing sweet strawberry, apricot, crunchy apple and floral nuances, leading to a finely textured palate offering bright fruit flavours with soothing mouthfeel and juicy acidity, making it immediately appealing. Wine Orbit 2023 (5 STARS) Delivery

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. Specifications
