Terra Sancta 'First Vines' Pinot Rose 2023 750ml

Terra Sancta’s expertise in Rosé shines forth in this Special Release. Both beautiful and serious, it demonstrates what can be created when superb quality Pinot Noir fruit from old vines is farmed, picked, and vinified with the intention of making a truly special, age worthy Rosé. Beautifully layered and perfumed, the fragrance is highly floral with honeysuckle and orange blossom, along with a touch of hazelnut. The palate is extraordinarily nuanced, with a rich, textured mouthfeel due to both wild barrel fermentation and 17 months in seasoned oak. Plush and vibrant, subtle yet powerful, its flavours are of quince, baked pear, custard and honey, along with almond, hazelnut and a touch of minerality. A Rosé possessing great energy, its power continues until the end, leaving a lasting impression. If you have the chance to try this at least once in your life - seize the day! Bottled under cork with purple wax.
