About the vintage
The 2023 vintage was a very good harvest for us. While spring and summer had some reasonable rainfall, late summer and autumn were warm and dry which resulted in a long, slow ripening period. This gave us ripe, flavoursome grapes with lovely concentration and balance.
The winemaking
The grapes for this wine were picked early for their fresh acidity and primary fruit flavours. After just a few hours on skins to get the lovely, pale pink colour, the juice was fermented in stainless steel at cool temperatures to retain the intense aromatics and clean, polished fruit flavours.
What the wine is like
A lively and fresh Rosé, this is a mouth-watering, refreshing wine. The nose is really enticing with lifted strawberry and raspberry notes and even a hint of cream! Gentle red fruit flavours offer the perception of slight sweetness, but this is a smooth and dry style with a deliciously crisp finish.
When to enjoy
Anytime you feel like enjoying a glass of something a bit special! The quality and style mean that it can be enjoyed now or anytime over the next few years. It’s the perfect choice for those long, warm and sunny days and gatherings around the barbecue. Serve chilled.
Suggested food pairings
Although ideal as a refreshing glass of wine on its own, this wine works really well with the myriad of flavours on an antipasto platter, salmon and other firm fish, pizza, pasta and rice dishes, salads and pork.
The technical bit
12% Alcohol. 5g/l RS (RS stands for ‘residual sugar’ and is the natural grape sugars left after fermentation has finished. It is expressed as grams per litre.
“It’s delicately scented on the nose with sweet strawberry, ripe apple, floral and subtle spice aromas, followed by an elegantly weighted palate displaying fine flow and crisp acidity, making it vibrant and tasty. At its best: now to end of 2025.” – Sam Kim, Wine Orbit
