An elegant Rosé with an inviting bouquet of vibrant red berries and cream. This wine is vegan registered.
Luscious ripe strawberry and raspberry flavours on the palate are complemented by a firm texture, full body and ripe acidity.
Our Seaview Vineyard in the Awatere Valley is exposed to some of the toughest growing conditions in Marlborough; high sunshine and wind, cool nights and low rainfall which produces a smaller, thicker skinned berry with intense fruit flavours.
To make our Pinot Noir Rosé a small block of young vine Pinot Noir was harvested around seven days earlier than when we commenced harvest for our mature Pinot Noir vines.
This attractive Rosé reflects the wonderful typicity that our Seaview Vineyard known for.
The bright, fruit forward wine fermented in tank was blended with the rich textural wine from oak to create and elegant and well-structured Rosé.
The Pinot Noir parcel was harvested, chilled, crushed and de-stemmed directly to the press where it soaked on skins for 12 hours in a closed inert environment. The juice was then pressed off gently and cold settled for 72 hours. A portion (10%) was dropped into older French barriques for fermentation with the majority being fermented in a stainless steel tank.
Beautiful as an aperitif or with both fresh and smoked salmon dishes. Also matches well with melon and prosciutto.

Dark salmon hues lead to aromas and flavours of strawberry and cherry, plum and red apple. Just dry with perhaps a little sweetness. Quite fruity at the core with medium acidity and weight. Balanced and well made.
