WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Luna Estate Brut Rosé is produced using a combination of winemaking techniques. For the 2023 vintage, free-run and lightly pressed juice underwent long, cool fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. Simultaneously, harder pressed, darker juice was fermented in seasoned 500L oak barrels, with some barrels from their sparkling base wine stock incorporated into the final blend. The fruit for the 2023 Rosé was whole bunch pressed. Luna Estate's approach prioritizes the sustainable care of their land and aims to work in accordance with natural cycles.
