Winemaking Hailing from the iconic Escarpment estate in Martinborough, this 2024 Rosé is crafted with a focus on purity, elegance, and expression of place. Pinot Noir fruit is gently pressed with minimal skin contact to produce its delicate hue. Fermentation in stainless steel at cool temperatures preserves crisp acidity and lifts aromatic intensity. This is a dry rosé built for finesse and freshness, with just the right touch of texture.
Bouquet Enticing notes of ripe red cherry, raspberry and watermelon leap from the glass, underpinned by floral hints of wild rose and a whisper of thyme. Subtle spice and citrus peel add dimension without overwhelming its delicate charm.
Palate Dry, sleek, and beautifully refreshing, the palate brims with summer berries and stone fruit—think strawberry, redcurrant and a flick of nectarine. There's a fine mineral edge and a vibrant line of acidity that keeps things bright and breezy, leading to a crisp, mouthwatering finish.
Food Pairing Perfect for coastal cuisine—freshly shucked oysters, seared salmon, or Vietnamese-style rice paper rolls with prawns and herbs. Also shines with light pasta dishes or grilled halloumi and summer vegetables.
