Minimal skin contact has resulted in an intense blush colour and delicate flavour profile. With Rosé like this, timing is everything to ensure finesse is at the heart of the wine. Gentle pressing to ensure delicate phenolic extraction followed by a long cool fermentation preserves aromatic purity adding floral dimension to this wine. Minimal fining before bottling ensures clarity of fruit is retained.

STYLE
Mid salmon pink with an orange blush. Delicate and refined aromatics with pink rose petal florals, a hint of bath salt perfume and subtle spice underpin watermelon and cranberry lift on the nose. The palate entry is soft, giving way to a bright and crunchy acid line which carries watermelon and subtle cherry fruit flavour. The is also a hint of wild forest berry sorbet adding depth. The phenolics a soft and textured giving a round and pillowy exit.
