The Vineyards

The 2022 Old Coach Road Nelson Rosé is a blend which comes from our Brightwater and Redwood Valley vineyards.

The Brightwater Vineyard vines are grown in an extremely stony area of the vineyard where water and nutrient levels are low. This helps us to restrict the plants vigour and to crop at low levels. To further enhance the aromatics, leaves were removed to allow light penetration and air movement around the fruiting zone.

The unirrigated Redwood Valley Vineyard is situated on a gently sloping, north facing clay site - the vines range in age from 10 to 30 years. Vertical shoot positioning helps to expose the berries to sunlight, thus getting maximum intensity and optimal ripeness.

Winemakers Note

2022 was another early vintage with superb fruit condition and flavours as we harvest early to get the very best fruit. Rosé is such a refreshing and crisp wine, perfect to sip and enjoy on those beautiful sunny afternoons. Enjoy!

Tasting Note

The 2022 Old Coach Road Rosé has the most gorgeous rich pink hue. Pear, creaming soda and wild berry aromas and Flavours dominate with the wine finishing lusciously off-dry.
