Sideways Central Otago Rosé 2021
Rex Pickett, author of the iconic novel 'Sideways', now introduces his new range of wines showcasing the best of New Zealand's winemaking regions.
"Charming and fabulously elegant, the wine shows watermelon, apricot, Gala apple and floral aromas on the nose, leading to a delectably appealing palate that's juicy and refreshing. Gorgeously light and delicious. At its best: now to 2023." Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Aug 2021
"Made with Pinot Noir presenting aromas and flavours of fresh red apple skin, red cherry flesh and roses. Just dry on the palate with a tickle of sweetness and flavours that mirror the bouquet. Acidity and fine powdery fruit tannins layer in texture and length. A balanced and well made wine with best drinking from day of purchase through end of summer 2024" Cameron Douglas Master Sommelier, Feb 2023
Light salmon in colour. Aromas of wild strawberries and ripe raspberries. This dry, structured style features flavours reminiscent of juicy watermelon, strawberries and raspberries with a long creamy finish. Pairs beautifully with seafood, light salads, light pasta dishes.
Pinot Noir grapes were hand harvested on the 17th of April 2021 at 22.5 Brix from Three Miners Vineyard, near Alexandra. The fruit was whole bunch pressed and then allowed to settle overnight. The juice was settled for 24 hours and then racked to two tanks and fermentation begun using various inoculated yeasts. The juice was fermented cool to retain flavour and the fermentation stopped once flavour, sugar and acid balance was reached.
