Our Best of North and South Rose.

It’s not every day we get to blend a Rosé that combines the best flavours from two of our favourite vineyards. Ballochdale Vineyard in Marlborough and Cornerstone Vineyard in the Gimblett Gravels.

Made from 80% Pinot Noir and 20% Syrah, sunny aromas of rose petals and creaming soda lead to a raspberry cream fruit on the palate, finishing with a wonderfully balanced acidity with a whisper of natural fruit sweetness.

Food Matching

We sip this in the sun with antipasto platters, fresh crunchy salads, smoked chicken and salmon. In fact, we’d sip it pretty much everywhere!

Award 92 Points

Aromas and flavours of red berries and roasted stone fruits, a touch of lees and caramelised fruit flesh. Additional flavours of tropical tea and rosehip add breadth and depth. Crisp and just dry with a core of fruit flavours, plenty of acidity and even finish. Best drinking from 2024 through end of summer 2026. A true rose appearance with a hue deep peach and salmon.

Vintage

Picture perfect vintage in Marlborough where the majority of the fruit came from to make this sumptuous Rose. The remainder was sourced from central Hawkes Bay that weathered a complicated vintage but we were lucky enough for the fruit to be too young to be affected at the time and had the  chance to ripen to its full
potential.

Vineyards

Ballochdale Pinot Noir 80% A spectacular location 300 meters above sea level sees this Marlborough vineyard produces wines of identity and intensity.

Cornerstone Syrah 20%

This exceptional vineyard on Hawke’s Bays’ Gimblett Gravels is renowned for Syrah. 

Wine Maker's Comment

Notes of rose petals and creaming soda on the bouquet lead to a raspberry cream fruit on the palate, finishing with a wonderfully balanced acidity with a whisper of natural fruit sweetness just to round off with aplomb.

Wine Making & Fruit Handling

The varieties were de-stemmed and drained in a press to extract the gently coloured juice. The varieties were fermented separately at a coolish temp (around 14 degrees). We used a yeast specific to rosé vinification, the wines were kept on their natural yeast lees for several months before being racked and blended, filtered and bottled.

Fermentation Vessel

Fermented in stainless steel.
