The Ned Pinot Rosé

The 100 % Pinot Noir is gently pressed to minimize colour and tannin pick up; the resulting juices are fermented in temperature controlled, stainless steel tanks. Yeast strains used during fermentation have been carefully selected, chosen for their ability to capture and enhance aromatic intensity and provide specifically desired texture on the palate.

Within the Marlborough wine region, Waihopai River Vineyard lies on the flats on the right bank of the Waihopai River, at the mouth of the Waihopai Valley, Pinot Noir vines are planted in the deep clay loams of the Southern Valley’s, universally regarded as the finest Pinot Noir terroir in Marlborough. The vines are cane pruned and meticulously tended to achieve a naturally balanced crop of intensely flavoured fruit.

Aromas of wild strawberries and watermelon with a delicate floral lift. The creamy palate is carefully balanced by crisp acidity creating a juicy, flavourful palate of red fruit with a lingering finish.

A versatile wine to be enjoyed year-round on its own or paired with fish based sashimi and a crunchy green salad.
