Jules carefully selected the grapes for this Ros\u00e9 – being hand harvested from the Branken Hill Vineyard, which is located in the Hawkesbury area of Marlborough\u2019s southern valleys. Jules identified a special parcel of Pinot Noir tucked away in the eastern corner of the vineyard and this is her 2020 expression.
\nThe selected fruit was hand harvested late March in the cool of the morning. On arrival to the winery, Jules crushed the grapes to the press, and left them on their skins for a couple of hours so as to achieve the coral salmon colour and bright aromas. The juice was the clarified and racked into tank where it began a cool fermentation process with a selected yeast strain to retain lifted aromas and vibrant flavours. Finally, the wine was racked off yeast lees, stabilised and filtered in order to provide brightness and clarity for the wines character. \n \u2022 As you pour, your glass is filled with a bright coral salmon colour and a pink hue.
