This dry style Rosé has a lovely pink hue and attractive floral aromas. The vibrant red berry fruit aromas lead to a crisp and fresh wine with an extended finish of strawberry and ripe citrus.

The fruit was crushed and pressed immediately with very minimal skin contact. After cold settling, the juice was cool-fermented using aromatic yeast to enhance the development of fruit aromas. The fruit was fermented to bone dry for a light and refreshing wine.

The grapes for this wine were specially selected from vineyards located in the Gimblett Gravels, Hawke's Bay for this vibrant Rosé. Low cropping vines and the removal of leaves around the bunches ensured excellent flavour development. The fruit was harvested at optimum sugar levels to achieve a fruit-forward wine with good acidity. Predominantly made from Syrah which lends richness and length, with 17% Merlot for flavour complexity.

The wine is vibrant with lively fruit flavour on release which will unfold well for the next two years.
