Ari
2022 Rosé
A refreshing crisp and clean wine, with pale pastel pink colours and aromas of berries and tropical fruits.
Vineyard selection
There are several ways winemakers approach making Rosé . We like to get ours right in the vineyard. This means that the vineyards are selected for soft fruit expression at lower sugar ripeness so the fruit can be harvested to produce a vibrant but light Rosé with lovely fruit and vibrant acid structure. Both warmer and cooler climate vineyard are considered for this blend.
Winemaking process
To ensure that minimal colour is extracted from the skins of the red grapes used in this blend, the fruit is processed quickly once it arrives at the winery and the resultant softly pressed juice has a pale pink colour, lots of fresh fruits and a light but expressive palate. These characteristics are enhanced by cool ferments to preserve delicate aromatics and fruitiness.
Wine colour
Very pale pastel pink.
Ageing potential
Rosé ’s are made for early drinking, so we suggest 1–2 years maximum.
