🧩 Estate grown fruit, straight press with no skin contact, wild & organic yeast ferment and 100% stainless steel

🔹 What an elegant Rosé with aromas of citrus fruit, wild berries, rhubarb, apples and spices. On the mouthfeel, medium bodied, dry with light tannin structure and crisp acidity. The finish is medium length with a nice mix of sweet and tart fruit, like apples, strawberries and grapefruit.

🔸 If summer is taking it’s sweet time to arrive let us lure it in with this refreshing, delicious Rosé. Winemaker’s Cut managed to craft a Rosé like I have never tasted before. For me it’s more of a serious wine, made to be paired with food. Bring on the charcuterie and cheese platter and enjoy outside when the summer and sunshine finally make an appearance. Strongly recommended 👍 Cheers my wine friends.

Lovely nose with aromas of wild strawberries, watermelon, and light spices. On the mouthfeel, light bodied, refreshing flavours and acidity. The finish is medium length, dry with ripe berry fruit and grapefruit freshness which begs for another sip.

An interesting blend isn’t it?  I am not one of those who believe that Rosé are made for the summer only.  I tasted this Rosé at Bloom Spring Release and really enjoyed it.  I suggested that the store order a few cases, thanks Nathan 🙏🙂  Researching this wine I was quite surprised to find out the high portion of Gewurztraminer, because I don’t usually enjoy this varietal.  I’m happy to report that I didn’t smell any lychee in the Rosé 😂  Instead a beautiful fruity nose, great acidity and a dry flavourful finish. This would pair well with food or simply on it’s own. Strongly recommended. Cheers my wine friends.
