Popping with a gorgeous pink hue and aromas of luscious watermelon and raspberry, the Marlborough Pinot Rose invites you to pause for just a little while. Brimming with flavours of fresh red berries and delicious stone fruits, each glass is a year-round summer escape.

Vintage 2022 kept them on their toes, with variable weather and the peak of an Omicron outbreak here in New Zealand. Excellent teamwork meant they were able to harvest their fruit as it was ready, retaining vibrant acidity and concentrated fruit flavours. Rain throughout the growing season replenished soil moisture, which supported a better than average crop. Cooler weather leading into harvest has created slightly higher acidity, which is balanced with ripe fruit flavour. They’re looking forward to sharing their 2022 wines with you!

Overlooking the ocean, they grow their grapes near the coast in Blind River and in the lower Wairau Valley. Their grapes enjoy the region’s long sunshine hours, while the ocean breeze keeps things cooler and drier. This wine is made from a blend of Pinot Noir and Pinot Gris. The Pinot Noir was kept on skins for 12 hours, before being gentled pressed. Both the Pinot Noir and Pinot Gris were cool fermented in stainless steel tank to retain the vibrant fruit aromas and flavours, before being tasted and carefully blended.
