Region: Hawke’s Bay
Sub-Regions: 51% Gimblett Gravels, 43% Moteo Pa, 6% Roys Hill
Winemaking and Viticulture Grapes for our Rosé were sourced from different sub-regions in Hawke’s Bay and picked at the ideal combination of ripeness, flavour, and acidity to provide maximum complexity and freshness. Tempranillo from the Gimblett Gravels provides a core of red fruit flavour, while Syrah from Moteo Pa and Roys Hill contributes florals, perfume, and a hint of savoury spice.
The grapes were gently but rapidly pressed, with the juice cold settled and fermented at cool temperatures in stainless steel to maximise the retention of fruit character. A small amount of residual sugar was retained to balance the acidity and the wine bottled early to capture its youthfulness and vitality.
The Wine:
A modern, stylish Rosé offering a delicious combination of juicy strawberry and raspberry flavours with a succulent, dry, refreshing finish. Best enjoyed while young but will continue to drink well over the next two years. Enjoy on its own or partnered with antipasto, sashimi, or pan-fried salmon. Serve chilled.
