“It’s delicately lifted on the nose with raspberry, red apple, floral and lemon zest aromas. The palate is finely expressed with sleek mouthfeel, combined with elegant texture and bright acidity, finishing splendidly long and linear. Certified organic.” – Sam Kim
“Another great wine from top Marlborough site Rock Ferry (this is from the winery’s nine-hectare Orchard Vineyard), and one of a number of ross in this list that sit in a really affordable price zone. This also has more going on than the straightforward – and often quite simple – fruity rosés you’ll haul from the supermarket shelf. Herbal and savoury in style, with peach and nashi pear notes and a fleshy, voluptuous palate. Refreshing and well worth seeking out.” – Metro Magazine
Tasting Note: Our Rosé is a lovely salmon hue in the glass. The wine has a nose of white blossoms, rock melon, and wild berries. On the palate it is vibrant and juicy, finishing with a gentle spice and refreshing length. This is the perfect wine to keep chilled and ready to share with summer fare and friends.
Winemaking Notes: Pinot Noir (81%), Pinot Blanc (9%), and Pinot Gris (10%) were harvested together on the same day from our Orchard vineyard. The grapes were gently pressed, and free run juice was settled overnight before being racked. The juice was inoculated with an aromatic yeast strain and undertook a long cool fermentation. Afterwards, the wine was aged on light lees for 6 months with light filtration before bottling.
