Description
Winemaking
Season
Our Marlborough Pinot Rose, made with gorgeous Pinot Noir grapes captures summer in a bottle. A crisp and refreshing texture beautifully intermingles with flavours of juicy watermelon, strawberries and red cherries. Enjoy year round and while its young.
Grapes are harvested and pressed in cool temperatures to protect and enhance aromatics. Clear juice is fermented in stainless steel tanks using selected aromatic and textural yeast strains at cool temperatures. This rosé wine is left on yeast lees for a closely monitored period to build palate weight without compromising freshness. Suitable for plant based diets.
Summer was dry and mild with Marlborough’s signature high sunshine hours and cool nights delivering fruit in the best possible condition. The early 2021 autumn season provided Marlborough with very stable weather conditions therefore fruit was able to reach optimum physiological and flavour ripeness. The fruit was impeccably clean and the lower yields meant that the grapes packed a punch in flavour and concentration.
