An off-dry 100% Pinot Noir was grown at our Rise vineyard to the North. Once picked, the fruit was crushed and left to sit on the skins for 48 hours before pressing to allow some tannin extraction to increase the body.

Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
An outstanding, fresh and fruity sparkler with summer crab apple, freshly cut watermelon and sunshine on the nose. On the palate, indulge in farm fresh strawberries in cream, cranberries and subtle hints of grapefruit and golden pear. This 100% Pinot Rosé has a soft creamy palate that is balanced with pleasurable tannins and just the right amount of acidity.
Winemaker Notes
Pinot Noir grapes were hand harvested, destemmed and gently crushed before sitting on skins for 48 hours.
Juice was allowed to bleed off ‘saignee’ style into stainless steel and fermented at low temperatures for nine days. The wine was allowed to clarify over the winter months, before being transformed into a sparkling Prosecco style wine.
