Impression

DRY, CRISP & TEXTURAL SANDSTONE AGED CABERNET FRANC ROSÉ

Elegant and restrained. Rose petals intertwined with citrus and saline notes.  Beautiful texture to the palate, soft and creamy, savoury notes juicy, salivating and refreshing, finishing dry.

Vintage
2023 was a challenging vintage for Hawke’s Bay, but a silver lining when it comes to rosé. Rosé is an early pick so the naturally high acid levels and restrained grape maturity levels make for an elegant and refreshing rosé.
