WINE MAKING PROCESS
The production of this rosé involves selecting fruit from Marlborough vineyards at optimal ripeness. Grapes are pressed with minimal skin contact to achieve the desired pale color and delicate flavor profile. The resulting juice undergoes cool fermentation in stainless steel tanks, a technique employed to preserve the wine's freshness and aromatic complexity. Following fermentation, the wine is typically aged in stainless steel to maintain its vibrant character before bottling.
