Fresh and dry with a light salmon pink colour the 2018 Rosé has aromas of raspberry sorbet and a soft, elegant palate of red plum, raspberry and a toffee apple finish with fresh acidity. Crisp and refreshing it is best as a young wine, lightly chilled as an aperitif or with seafood, white meat and salad dishes.

The grapes for this Rosé were sourced from our Bridge Pa Triangle vineyard. Harvested at optimum ripeness, Merlot (93%) and Cabernet Franc (7%). Spur pruning and good fruit exposure produced clean, ripe fruit with good concentration.

Destemmed grapes were transferred to a basket Press. A short period of soaking and light pressing was enough to colour the juice to a pale pink. Clean juice was run off to a separate tank to ferment at cool temperatures to retain the fruit flavours and reduce phenolics or any bitterness. The wine was then filtered for bottling.
