Winemaking and Viticulture
Winemakers:

Kyle Thompson

Winemaking:

The grapes spent a few hours on skins to extract the soft pink colour then were gently pressed. After settling the juice was fermented in stainless steel tanks at cool temperatures to retain aromatics, fruit flavour, and freshness. The wine was kept on its lees to enhance its texture then stabilised, filtered and carefully prepared for bottling.

Viticulture:

A Rosé made using 100% Pinot Noir grapes sourced from a Saint Clair estate owned vineyard located in Marlborough’s Southern Valleys sub-region. The fruit was machine harvested in the cool of the night when the grapes reached optimum ripeness and flavour intensity.
