Kumeu Rosé 2021 – 6 pack

Kumeu had yet another great vintage in 2021, the third in a row. This allowed us to hand harvest our Malbec and Merlot in pristine condition over a couple of days in mid-March. The fruit was lightly whole bunch pressed, and cold settled prior to fermentation. 10% was racked to neutral oak barrels where it was fermented and aged on yeast lees for 6 months creating a rounder, creamy pallet, and light brioche aromas. The rest of the juice was fermented in a refrigerated stainless steel tank. The slow, cool fermentation locked in the fresh fruit aromas. Following maturation, the wines were blended, fined, and filtered.
