2015 PINOT NOIR ROSÉ

2015 PINOT NOIR ROSÉ WINEMAKER’S COMMENTS The dry 2014/2015 growing season was enhanced by timely rain in January 2015. Select blocks of Pinot Noir grapes from the Blue Pyrenees Estate vineyard were lightly pressed soon after night harvesting to minimise colour & phenolic extraction. The resulting pale pink juice was fermented to 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 the creamy mid palate & naturally stabilise the wine. These techniques create an ideal luncheon wine that matches many foods but should be served chilled.
