Fresh and fragrant with lifted ripe strawberry fruit and delicate orange peel essence. Seductive flavours of berries, cherries and rhubarb are underpinned by the soft spice of cool-climate cloves. Beautifully balanced, light in alcohol with a lively textural emphasis. The long, refreshing palate finishes crisp with an elegant touch of sweetness.
From the Winery
The various varieties were picked early in the morning and delivered straight to winery, to conserve delicate fruit aromas. Fruit was de-stemmed and the juice drained directly off skins, as we wanted a lighter bodied style with a light blush colour. Juice was clarified before undergoing fermentation at cool temperature, to promote a more aromatic style of wine. Fermentation was stopped just prior to being completely finished – giving us the small amount of residual sugar and the higher level of dissolved CO2 that both occur naturally in the wine. Stabilised and very quickly prepared for bottling – so we could the release the wine young and fresh!
