Overview:
The Domain Road Vineyard Pinot Noir Rosé 2022 is crafted from hand-harvested grapes from the Bannockburn region, renowned for its ideal climate and historical gold mining heritage. The vineyard benefits from a micro-climate with hot summers and frosty winters, which allows the grapes to develop a rich complexity. This Rosé is a product of carefully selected fruit, whole bunch pressed, and cool fermented to retain a touch of residual sugar, resulting in a refreshing and flavourful wine.
Tasting Notes:
The wine is a traditional pale pink in colour, offering a delightful aroma of raspberry, strawberry, peach, and white melon. On the palate, it is crisp and dry with vibrant flavours of sweet stone fruit, red berries, ripe strawberry, and a hint of citrus. The wine showcases a good balance of concentration and minerality, with a complex structure that leads to a cherry finish. It’s an elegant and refreshing Rosé that pairs beautifully with a variety of foods, including chicken, oysters, shellfish, soft cheeses, grilled vegetable salads, or a summer watermelon and feta salad.
