Cuvar
Iris Rosé 2023 750ml

This wine is made with Pinot Noir 80%, Syrah 20%

The Pinot Noir fruit comes from Ballochdale, in Awatere Valley Marlborough. A spectacular location 300 meters above sea level sees this Marlborough vineyard produces wines of identity and intensity.

The Syrah fruit comes from our Cornerstone vineyard. This exceptional vineyard on Hawke’s Bays’ Gimblett Gravels is renowned for Syrah.

The varieties were de-stemmed and drained in a press to extract the gently coloured juice. The varieties were fermented separately at a coolish temp (around 14 degrees). We used a yeast specific to rosé vinification, the wines were kept on their natural yeast lees for several months before being racked and blended, filtered and bottled.
