Every year, the complexity in their Rua Pinot Rosé comes from diverse vineyard selection across two sub regions - Banockburn and Pisa. This season, their Pisa vineyards contributed most of the fruit, bringing energy and tension to the acid structure; and Bannockburn brings the spice!

Overall, a warm and settled growing season, with little to no high winds, no major frost events and very good soil moisture leading into late 2021. Weekly rain events throughout November took the vines into premium conditions for canopy growth. Flowering conditions were perfect, with warm dry weather over the crucial period. In turn, the fruit was very even in ripeness within the bunches. Settled and warm Autumn. It was a very busy and fast-paced harvest. A stellar vintage with very high quality fruit and fantactic crop load, which were easily ripened by their lush, large canopies.

Handpicked whole bunch pressed and cold settled. Clean rack, fermented cool with Rosé yeast in stainless steel tanks. No barrel ferment in this wine.
