TASTING NOTES

The 2021 Rosé is crafted using 100% Pinot Noir grapes from our Melba Block. This year we upgraded from a basket to a vacuum bladder press. Being a more delicate process, we have found that this rosé has retained more aromatics and fruit character. Keeping with our preferred french-style of rosé, the subtlety of the strawberry nose is balanced beautifully with a mineral and savoury palate, yet bright finish. This elegant rosé will drink beautifully during the warmer months. Perfect for any occasion
