National Wine Awards of Aotearoa – GOLD
Marlborough Wine Show – Bronze 88 Points
Cameron Douglas MS | 95+ Points | Outstanding
There’s no mistaking the deliciousness in the bouquet with scents of mineral and light red berry fruits, a saline quality and gentle perfume of flowers and fruit spice. A tropical note and fine lees ageing adds breadth and intrigue. Pure, ripe, refreshing and salivating on the palate, what’s not to like! Flavours of cherry and light red berry flesh, lees and acidity layer in mouthfeel and pizzaz to the finish. Great drinking from day of purchase through 2027. To sum this wine up in just one word – ‘Yum’.

Treated as a white wine in the cellar, this rosé was pressed off skins early and fermented cold in stainless steel to accentuate fruit purity. The wine was then aged on light yeast lees for two months to gain complexity and increase mouthfeel.
