WINE MAKING

Harvested from the vineyards of long-standing growers for Peller Estates. This Rosé is a blend of 83% Pinot Noir, 15% Gamay Noir and 2% Pinot Meunier grapes which were allowed several hours of skin contact for a perfect pink colour, then pressed, cool fermented and aged in (90%) stainless steel tanks and (10%) neutral oak barrels. Bottled early for full fruit expression.

FLAVOUR PROFILE

A delicate copper pink colour with a summertime aroma of wild strawberry, Rainier cherry, white peach, and melon. A light, dry, smooth yet refreshing Rosé. The palate is refreshed with flavours of Rainier cherry, honeydew melon, and red currant. Lively notes of tangy red berries, crab apple, white currant, and a touch of rhubarb and pink grapefruit linger through on the finish.
