Tasting Notes:
Tom Cannavan: ‘ A single vineyard rosé made with organically grown Pinot Noir, the colour is an elegant pale pink. The aromas open with a definite sense of gravelly, lightly truffled, classic Pinot character. A fragrant cherry and floral note comes through. In the mouth, the juiciest of blood orange fruit and acidity. There's a lime and orange peel sense of more savoury, textural character, but the acidity gives a firm, taut length and a lightly spicy finish.
