Pretty pale peach pink with a fine persistent bead. The nose is delicate with fresh bread aromas and underlying nuances of strawberries. Initially the wine teases the palate with subtle rose petal flavours, then builds in the mouth displaying strawberry, mellow hazelnut and brioche characters as it moves towards the back palate. A low dosage provides a crisp acid backbone and ensures a satisfying dry finish. Drink lightly chilled. Try with: Canapés, antipasto, oysters, smoked salmon, seafood platter, minestrone soup, macaroni cheese, roast goose, blue cheese. |



The wine is bright in the glass, a Turkish delight pink with hues of red opal. The nose is gently perfumed with some savory notes, and hints of star anise and eastern spices. The Rosé fills the mouth with a diverse array of strawberry fruits, savory characters and some meaty complexity.
The Reserve Pinot Noir has a colour of deep garnet with rich red hues. A complex nose leaps from the glass and carries liquor cherry, violets, savory thyme, and forest floor characters. This is an intense fleshy wine on the palate with sour cherry, raspberry, dark plum and aniseed flavours and underlying smoky oak. The natural acid in the wine extends its presence on the palate, and it finished with distinct mouth cleansing tannins.
