This is a dry as chips modern style Rosé, but one which retains freshness and vibrancy throughout. There’s been almost no skin contact here, so the wine has a slightly copper tone, onion skin colour. The ferment just happened naturally, and then it spent time on lees until all was brought together. The wine has a savoury appeal, but still retains some bright primary fruit characters of raspberry and cherry. The mouthfeel is a feature here, and it is a thoroughly delicious wine, perfect for food.
