Marlborough Natural Rosé 2023

Natural Rosé immediately presents luscious strawberries and pear on the nose. Ripe bright berry fruit, meet with white stone fruit on the palate with a dry finish and clean refreshing acidity.

Blend of 75% Pinot Noir and 25% Pinot Gris grapes. The grapes are hand-harvested and then mixed in the open-top oak fermenters. Fermentation starts spontaneously, and after about four days the free-run is taken off and then finished in a stainless tank. The balance of the grapes finishes ferment naturally in the oak fermenters. Once finished, the grapes are very gently pressed and mixed with the wine in stainless tanks. After settling at near-freezing conditions for 4 days the wines are racked into a tank, where we let gravity do its thing and let particles settle at the bottom.
