2013 PINOT NOIR ROSÃ
2013 PINOT NOIR ROSÉ REGION Pyrenees, Victoria, Australia.
GRAPE VARIETIES 100% Pinot Noir
WINEMAKER Andrew Koerner.
WINEMAKER’S COMMENTS During the highly rated growing season of 2012 / 2013, a block of the red grape Pinot Noir, was identified on our Estate vineyard as suiting rose production. These grapes were pressed soon after harvesting to minimise colour and phenolic extraction. The resulting pink juice was fermented to near dryness by selected yeast strains, in temperature controlled stainless steel tanks. The resulting wine was agitated on its yeast lees for 6 months to impart some creamy yeast characters and stabilise the wine. These techniques have created an ideal luncheon wine that should be served chilled. .
COLOUR Pale pink.
AROMA Glazed cherries and cream aromas abound.
FLAVOUR The palate follows on from the aroma with fresh strawberry fruit and creamy confection flavours whilst retaining a balanced fresh finish.
CELLARING Designed to enjoy now.
The Blue Pyrenees single varietal range is crafted to express the essence of the cool elevated Pyrenees region in Western Victoria
TECHNICAL DETAILS Alcohol: 10.9 % Total Acidity: 6.68 g/L pH: 3.24 Residual Sugar: 5 g/L
