Winemaking and Viticulture
The 2017 season in Hawkes Bay included a very warm and long summer with ripe fruit flavours arriving early in the harvest period.
The grapes were rapidly and gently pressed to produce an elegant, fruit driven wine with low phenolics. The juice was cold settled for clarification and then cool fermented in stainless steel tanks to maximize the retention of fruit character.
The Wine
Flavours and aromas of strawberries and cream, red currant and summer fruits gently compliment the natural zingy freshness. This is balanced by a small amount of retained sweetness.
The 2017 Rose is a wine that will be best enjoyed while young but will continue to drink well over the next two to three years.
Great drinking on its own or with salmon, poultry and lighter red meat dishes.
Serve chilled.
