Čuvar Iris Collection Rosé 2023

Uplifted notes of Rose petals and creaming soda on the bouquet leading into a raspberry cream fruit on the palate, finishing with a wonderfully balanced acidity with a whisper of natural fruit sweetness just to round off with aplomb.

The varieties were destemmed and drained in a press to extract the gently coloured juice. The varieties were fermented separately at a coolish temp (around 14 degrees) and while the Pinot Noir was fermented to near dry, the Syrah was stopped with a little natural sugar for later blending. A yeast specific to rose vinification was used and the wines were kept on their natural yeast lees for several months before being racked and blended, filtered and bottled in October 2023.
