2023 Rosé Moira

Hand-picked on the cool morning of September 28th and 10th from our original Moira Vineyard.  Grape sugars averaged 20.8° Brix.

Whole grape clusters were gently pressed for minimal contact between juice and skins.  After briefly chilling in a wide-profile stainless-steel tank (resembling a dairy tank) for optimum lees contact, the juice transferred to a standard steel tank for cool fermentation.  The finished wine was bottled in February 2024.

At the time of bottling, alcohol measured 12%; residual sugar: 0 grams per litre; 6.2 titratable acidity:  3.32 grams per litre pH:

Chill to near 10° C and serve with salad Niçoise, pissaladiere, barbequed salmon.
