The 2024 vintage was hand-picked from cooler, coastal vineyard blocks chosen specifically for their ability to retain natural acidity and aromatic purity. Comprising 35% Malbec, 32% Merlot, 28% Syrah and 5% Cabernet Franc, the fruit was gently pressed with minimal skin contact, then fermented cool in stainless steel to preserve freshness and aromatic clarity. This is rosé made with intent, not as a red wine by-product.

Nose: Lifted aromas of sweet yellow plum, cherry and a whisper of strawberry mingle with a distinctive saline edge, a breezy reminder of the island’s windswept coastal origin.

Palate: Fresh and delicate with shades of stone fruit and citrus, balanced by subtle herbal notes and a plum-like softness. The wine sits up with crisp energy, supported by a mineral backbone and natural acidity that keeps it lively and mouthwatering.

Finish: Clean, saline and refreshing, with lingering mineral notes that leave you reaching for another glass.

Pair with tomato-based pasta dishes, fresh seafood salads or grilled prawns with lemon and herbs.

Serve well-chilled at 6–8°C in a wide-bowled white wine glass to capture the wine’s aromatic lift.

A thoughtful gift for rosé enthusiasts who appreciate wines with real personality and coastal character beyond the pale pink cliché.
