This wine has a unique pale silver-pink hue. Aromas of raspberries, cherries and a few secondary whiffs of minerality.

Vinification Details
52% Pinot Noir / 48% Chardonnay Whole bunch pressing of both varietals ensured that only the quality juice wentinto fermentation. The two varietals were then fermented separately. The unique silver-pink hue is obtained from an enzymatic reaction during the transport of the Pinot Noir fruit to the cellar. This lends sufficient time for the gentle colour extraction of this Rosé NV. After fermentation, the portions are blended and then lightly fined and bottled for the second fermentation. A minimum 15 months lees time results insubtle yeasty characters, with a burst of berry and cherry flavour.
