| Accolades for this Wine: |
|
| Cellaring: |
This wine is best enjoyed over 12-18 months from release. |
| Tasting Notes: |
A vibrant Rosé with lifted aromatics and fruit purity. When served lightly chilled, this is the perfect wine for a long lunch which stretches into the late afternoon. |
| Vineyards: |
The grapes were grown in two vineyards at the Western end of Waiheke Island. The Edwards and Dryland Vineyards both feature sun-drenched North facing slopes and clay soils, perfect for ripening fragrant, juicy Merlot and Malbec grapes. |
| Winemaking: |
The hand-picked grapes were immediately crushed upon arrival at the winery and cold-soaked for 12 hours, before being pressed. The resulting pink juice was cool fermented using a neutral yeast to preserve the pure fruit aromas. After a long, cool fermentation, the wine was allowed to rest in tank for 3 months prior to bottling. |
