Pinot Rosé 2023

Why we love this wine

• Grapes & Terroir

  Silty loam over free-draining gravels. Standard vertical trellis.
• Winemaking

  The grapes were hand-picked on a cool Autumn morning. The juice was held on skins for 2 hours in the press before pressing off. The juice was then settled for 48 hours before racking to another tank and inoculated with a selected yeast strain. The juice was fermented at a low temperature to retain fruitfulness. After ferment, the wine was held on its yeast lees for 2 months before bottling.
• Tasting

  Colour: vibrant orange-pink. Nose: lifted red fruits, such as strawberry and raspberry on the nose, with a hint of Herbs de Provence adding complexity. Palate: watermelon and wild strawberry notes with a hint of creaming soda. The palate is crisp with a lingering dry finish.
