2021 Pinot Noir Rosé
Sold Out
This marks our first vintage from new plantings in 2019 of Pinot Noir clone 777 and 828 on Gravesac rootstock. The soil in the new block is similar to the rest of our estate – well-drained warm gravels, schist and slate, under slightly less topsoil than the Prestige Brut Estate block, 20 cm.
This inaugural small lot was pressed in a small basket bladder press with minimal skin contact and aged over winter in glass carboys.
Certified Organic by Pro-Cert. Certified Biocyclic Vegan by CERES. Organic and vegan from soil to glass.

Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
Flavours are typical for Pinot Noir with rich textures, herbal, small berry fruit and caramel notes, and a hint of our signature minerality and slight saline. We are excited to see the flavours develop over future vintages as the roots dig deep into mineral-rich soil!
