WINEMAKERS COMMENTS
Ripe red berry fruit notes with citrus overtones on the nose and palate with hints of watermelon. A firm natural fruit acidity offsets the fruit ripeness making a wine in perfect balance and lengthy firm finish. A lip-smacking Rosé that is perfect for an aperitif or paired with food.
VINTAGE
2O23 was a textbook vintage for Marlborough. Clear blue-sky days with sporadic clouds and cool nights. Hawkes Bay had its challenges but fortunately, when Cyclone Gabrielle hit, the Syrah was still unripe which protected the fruit and allowed them to withstand the rain and continue to ripen until ready for harvest.

“An alluring rosé offering candied red strawberry and rose petal on the nose. The palate bursts with zesty red fruit, beautifully balanced by vibrant pomegranate acidity. A dry, textured finish adds depth. This is everything a rosé should be: juicy, refreshing, and brimming with personality.”Sammy Wilkinson | The Wine Writer MAR 2O24
