Terroir:

The vineyards are located in Marlborough, a region with a cool climate, strong sunshine and significant temperature amplitudes between day and night. These conditions help to preserve the bright acidity and intense aromatic profile of Sauvignon Blanc.

Vinification:

Rosé is produced from Sauvignon Blanc, through short contact with the skins to achieve a delicate pink hue.
