VINTAGE CONDITIONS
An ideal cold wet winter with cool and dry climatic conditions leading up to picking. Longer ripening allowed the grapes to express an amazing balance of fruit.

WINEMAKING / MATURATION
The grapes were crushed and immediately pressed to prevent too much colour extraction. The juice was cold fermented at 130C until dry and kept on the lees for 3 months prior to bottling.

TASTING NOTES
Light salmon-pink in colour. Beautiful aromas with hints of blackcurrant, strawberry and rose petal. The fresh, medium bodied palate is well supported by an abundance of fruit and a juicy, lingering acidity. Good length and complexity makes it a perfect wine for summer foods and a good fit for any occasion. Ideally served chilled between 8 – 10˚C.
