A much deeper pink hue than is indicated by the bottle shot. Good rosé though, make no mistake. 26 hours on skins then into old French barriques for wild ferment and two months maturation. No malo, 100% Pinot Noir.
It smells of sour cherries, musk, strawberries, citrus and leaf with scattered rose petals. Predominately savoury with the primary fruit sitting anterior on the palate. Textural; a touch of softness and give through the mid-palate, very fine and gentle drying phenolics. Sits ever so slightly below medium-bodied. An entirely admirable take on the style. 92
