This pretty Rosé has an enticing bouquet of peachy, floral characters. The palate shows notes of pear and ripe red berries, with a crisp and refreshing finish.

Wine is made all over the world, and is many things to many people. But no matter where it’s from, or what it means to you, one thing always seems to remain true: a great wine is made even better when enjoyed in good company. In New Zealand we try to be good, to put more into the land than we ever take out. If we look after the land, it will look after us. So raise a glass to the land and enjoy…with Good Company.

The growing season in Marlborough started out warm and dry, resulting in very even flowering and ultimately balanced vines with the right amount of crop to get them through to harvest. The warm weather continued through Spring and Summer, with periodic rains which kept the vines hydrated through the warm growing season. The warmer conditions meant that harvest started around two weeks earlier than the previous year and resulted in a Rosé with lifted aromatics and concentrated mouthfeel.

The parcels of fruit that created this Rosé were individually harvested over a ten day period. The fruit was crushed, destemmed, briefly soaked, and then gently pressed. The juice was cold settled for 48 hours then racked prior to a long cool fermentation in stainless steel tanks to capture bright, fresh fruit characters. Each parcel was fermented separately with a range of yeasts to build complexity and structure. Following fermentation the wine was blended, stabilised and filtered prior to bottling.

Food Pairing: Enjoy with goat’s cheese, light summer salads, or your favourite shellfish.
