Rosé 2025 750ml

New Release

The thumbprint of this vintage was stamped in the first eight weeks of the growing season, with a mild, settled spring markedly warmer than a typical Waitaki start. Consistent growth followed, uninterrupted by the usual cold snaps of wind or rain in the lead-up to Christmas. Flowering was swift and uniform, resulting in well-structured bunches and promising yields.

The period through veraison remained calm, with warm days and cool nights promoting balance and flavour development. With such an abundance of fruit, we had the rare luxury of reducing crop load, a deliberate step to preserve quality and build texture. An early harvest unfolded under near-perfect conditions, with no threat from autumn frosts, rounding off a seamless season and another standout vintage for Waitaki.
