Tasting Notes
In the glass we get classic rosé aromas, light strawberry, bright raspberry and the palate is lean, crisp and fresh. The finish is light and fresh.
Food Matches
Works very well with bruschetta with parma ham and fresh pesto.
Vinification
A Classic lighter style dry rose, made with the summer in mind. Machine picked grapes, delivered to the winery within 2 hours of picking to minimise oxidation, then the grapes are chilled to stop any wild yeast action, before crushing and fermentation is inocculated in steel tank. Pinot Grigio's natural skin colour, a mottled orange/ autumn pink leaches colour into the clear juice over a period of approx 12 hours, at which point the now pink juice is run into a clean tank and continues fermenting until finished - about 4 weeks, then bottled
