PINOT NOIR ROSÉ: 2023

Single Vineyard - Hand Picked
 
100% Pinot Noir, hand picked from our Old Block. Minimal skin contact has given this Rosé a delicate 'Provence blush'. Picked at optimal ripeness to ensure fresh aromatics and crisp acid. Made for summer days.
 
Sight: Pale blush.
Smell: Raspberries, watermelon and creaming soda.
Taste: Dry and exciting raspberry, candy floss and new season strawberries invite you to explore the wine. The acid structure keeps each sip exciting and lively.
 
Pairing: A summer afternoon and maybe a wee salmon pâté.
 
Cellaring: Drink through this summer and next... if you can keep it that long.
