Regular price $39.00

The HAWKSHEAD 2024 Rosé reflects the Pinot Noir grape variety it has been crafted from. Classic, dry and more savoury in style.
Our Pinot Rosé is brightly coloured and is deliciously crisp with fresh yet ripe lifted fruit flavours of red currant, bramble, musk florals and summer sun-warmed wild herb aromatics.
The palate sways seamlessly between fruit and floral notes, savoury undertones and mouthwatering bright acidity. Great texture and weight add to a deliciously juicy and refreshing finish with great length.
In keeping with our HAWKSHEAD style, we again created a Rosé that shows elegance, purity of fruit, with texture and subtle complexity.

4.5 Stars, Outstanding quality (gold medal standard)
Full, bright pink, the 2024 vintage was made from Pinot Noir, hand-harvested at Gibbston (70 per cent) and Lowburn (30 per cent), and aged on its yeast lees for four months in stainless steel tanks, with no use of oak. Scented and mouthfilling, it is vibrantly fruity, with strong, strawberryish, slightly spicy flavours, fresh acidity and a dry (2 grams/litre of residual sugar) finish. Excellent drinking now onwards.
