In Session with Crafters Union
Rosé
HAWKES BAY
ALC/VOL: 9.5%
Your favourite summer salads (think beetroot, feta and walnut with balsamic), fish dishes, and of course this is a great aperitif wine too. Ready for immediate enjoyment, however this wine can be enjoyed for up to 24 months.
Taste Profile:
A delicately perfumed nose with strawberry and floral notes. With classic berry flavours this Rosé is beautifully balanced and expressive.
Winemaking:
From the sunny Hawke’s Bay, our grapes were harvested early, reducing sugar (which makes for a naturally lighter wine) but still full of delicious flavours.
The grapes were crushed and destemmed, then direct pressed with minimal skin contact to manage the concentration of flavours. The clarified juice was fermented at a cool temperature using selective yeast strains to optimise flavour intensity and the wine was racked off yeast lees directly after primary fermentation. Bottled while fresh to retain maximum fruit intensity.
