Johanneshof Cellars Marlborough Pinot Noir Rose 2022

The Johanneshof Cellars Pinot Noir Rosé displays a light garnet colour, followed by a bouquet of forest berries, red melon, rhubarb and a touch of almond.Dry in style, the palate carries on in the theme of a compote of berries - raspberries, strawberries and cherries all intermingle. Highly textured, this Rosé has a strong presence and features a soft acidity. A core of nutty and earthy tones shows the terroir of the steep Maybern vineyard finishing long and smooth. This single vineyard Pinot Noir Rosé is made from our steep 'Maybern' Vineyard which is narrow planted and dry farmed.

This single vineyard Pinot Noir Rosé is made from our steep home block 'Maybern' Vineyard behind our winery. Dry-farmed and narrow planted, growing on this site is a labour of love, with most work carried out by hand. The notably soft acidity is achieved by carefully monitoring the ripening in the vineyard and choosing the picking time when all components are in balance. Hand harvested like all Johanneshof wines, it is an elegant, yet gutsy wine with a lengthy finish.
