Tasting notes & technical information ↓

All parcels were hand harvested and subject to ruthless sorting in the field so that only the most pristine fruit made its way into the winery. All components were handled separately and once dry, were subject to a rigorous blending trial so that the final wine represented everything that we want our Rosé to be - summer in a bottle, all year round!

On the palate, this wine has the sort of presence that you seldom see in a rosé. Everything you could smell in the glass; you can now taste. The wine has freshness and juiciness, but also weight, complexity and length.

This wine is perfect as an apéritif, just add friends and a warm summer evening, and you will want for little more. That said, our 2025 Pinot Noir Rosé has such extraordinary weight, texture and complexity, that it becomes an immediate winner when matched with seafood dishes, or white meats such as chicken or pork.
