100% Pinot Noir After so many years of making full bodied Pinot Noir the team at Escarpment wanted to explore some other facets of this wonderful grape.
Pinot Noir from Te Muna Rd has given us a wonderfully perfumed, strawberry aromatic wine. Left on skins for a mere 2 hours then barrel fermented in old oak a very delicate perfect blush coloured Pinot Rosé has resulted.
Red summer berries and toffee, along with lifted perfume and a crunchie freshness, are the hallmarks of this Rosé. This is attributed to the use of 100% Pinot Noir. The palate is full of strawberries and cream but also crisp and dry, with a long finish and lively acidity. Barrel fermentation and aging on lees, has added mouthfeel and texture. Made to be drunk young and perfect on a warm spring or summers evening. Totally refreshing.
