IN THE VINEYARD:
The grapes are all sourced from Fairview’s trellised vineyards, planted on
decomposed granite soils. Picked early for a refreshing light style of Rosé.
HARVEST DATE:
2023
WINEMAKING:
Both the Grenache Noir and Cinsault were picked between 66 and 70 degrees Balling
and gently pressed (some whole bunch, some destalked) and then cold fermented in
stainless steel tanks. The varieties were fermented separately, after which they were
blended and left on the fine lees before finally bottling.
TASTING NOTE:
Beautifully blush in the glass with enticing fruit aromas of summer berries, pear,
melon (cantaloupe) and a whiff of spring blossoms. A generous palate with daisy
fresh flavours of red apple and cranberry with a lingering pithy dry finish.
FOOD RECOMMENDATION:
A versatile food wine that complements a wide range of dishes and light enough for
long summer lunches under the trees. We recommend this wine with fresh sushi,
salmon salad, grilled fish or chicken. Also pairs perfectly with a Fairview cheese
platter.
