"An equal blend of pinot noir and pinot gris. Dry, fruity rosé with tree fruit, peach, pear and apple flavours that are supported by gentle acidity. A crisp and refreshing rosé with appealing purity. Drink 2021 to 2024." AUG 21

"Offering good value, the 2020 vintage is a 50:50 blend of Pinot Noir and Pinot Gris, grown at a single site in the Awatere Valley. Bright, light pink, it is very fresh and lively, with strong, strawberryish, slightly peachy and spicy flavours, and a dry finish. Enjoyable from the start."
