A blend of Pinot Noir (96%) and Pinot Gris, this comes from two sustainably farmed Waipara vineyards. The old-vine Pinot Noir (planted in the early ‘90s) is from the Waipara Springs vineyard, which is managed by the PV team. The Pinot Gris is sourced from the Porters vineyard. The fruit was whole-bunch-pressed and naturally fermented in old oak cuves and puncheons. It sat on lees for six months before being bottled unfined. 

Boom. This has delicious, bright and crunchy summer fruits alongside a subtle savoury and ozone quality that provides aromatic intrigue. There’s terrific, mouth-watering structure with more vivid red fruit and savoury flavours and all the tension and grip you could ask for in a top rosé. This is Huw Kinch’s first rosé, and he’s nailed it.

Reviews

“Crafted from vines planted in the early 1980s, the 2021 Rosé (North Canterbury) is whole-bunch-pressed and settled in tank before being wild-fermented in wooden cuves and puncheons, then left on lees until the spring. The end result is a wine that blossoms in the mouth with ripe red fruit and a light savory note. While there’s a hint of sweetness on the finish (the fermentation naturally stopped with 4g/L r.s.), it finishes with a refreshing line of acidity and natural spritz.”
93 points, Rebecca Gibb MW, Vinous
“Pale, pretty rosé with delicate cherry/berry, raspberry and wildflower flavours. Dry and delicate wine with appealing purity and a crisp, lingering finish. Serious, sophisticated rosé.”
