Vintage 2024 was a stunning growing season for Rose production, sunny and warm with well timed rainfall providing water to our dry farmed vineyards culminating in fruit being harvested in impeccable condition. Our Pinque Rose is made up of Merlot, Malbec, Syrah and Cabernet franc and is grown in 13 select coastal vineyards spread across both Waiheke and Ponui Islands. All our Rose blocks are hand harvested and whole bunch pressed using the same techniques as those in Champagne. The resulting juice is very pure and fresh and is then fermented to dryness slowly and at cold temperatures to highlight the purity of the fruit. The wines are blended in the winter and bottled cold to retain as much natural carbon dioxide as possible giving the touch of effervescence that enhances the wine.
