Kahurangi Estate Nelson Rose 2023

Kahurangi Estate is a family owned boutique vineyard in Upper Moutere, Nelson, dedicated to producing hand-made, premium quality wines in a truly sustainable manner. Their focus is on aromatic grape varieties that respond exceptionally well to Nelson's sunny, but cool winter climate.

Owned by the Day family since 1973, Kahurangi's wines reflect the true flavours and beauty of the Nelson region. Sourced from a selection of Nelson vineyard sites, 2021 was a stunning growing season. A dry Spring, followed by a hot, dry Summer with a little bit of rain pre harvest resulted with super ripe grapes, with concentrated, intense flavours and clean, crisp acidity.

This 2023 Rose is divine. A blend of Pinot Noir with skin contact to extract the desired colour and flavour, Pinot Gris, and Riesling sourced from vineyards across the Nelson region.

Aromas of red cherries and melon, strawberry compote and apricot. Distinctive, fleshy, fruity and enticing. Flavours of raspberry come through on the palate along with the lite red berries and apricot discovered in the bouquet. Crisp, refreshing and just dry with a core of fruit, salivating acidity and lengthy fruit filled finish. Well made and ready to enjoy upon purchase and through end of summer 2025. 13% abv.
