WINE DESCRIPTION

Mt Rosa Pinot Noir is a delightful red wine that epitomizes the elegance and complexity of the Pinot Noir grape, originating from Central Otago, New Zealand. The winemaking process begins with a cold soak for one week to extract vibrant red fruit flavors, followed by a week-long fermentation with gentle, daily hand plunging. This meticulous method ensures optimal extraction of color, flavor, and tannins. Post-fermentation maceration for an additional ten days enhances the wine's depth and complexity. The resulting wine boasts a bouquet of cherries, raspberries, and subtle floral notes, complemented by hints of spice, earthiness, and oak. On the palate, Mt Rosa Pinot Noir is well-balanced and refined, featuring silky tannins, medium body, and gentle acidity that adds freshness and vibrancy. The finish is long and lingering, with a touch of savory complexity. This wine pairs beautifully with roasted poultry, grilled salmon, or mushroom risotto, making it a versatile choice for special occasions or everyday enjoyment.
