Viticulture
Despite the challenges of the 2023 growing season, the 2023 vintage was an excellent one for Rosé in Hawke’s Bay and has resulted in one of our most exciting wines yet!
Vinification
A mix of Merlot and Malbec, the grapes were processed with minimal pressing on skins to give just a touch of colour. A temperature controlled fermentation with selected yeasts helped to preserve the aromatic flavours.
