Terra Sancta Special Release First Vines Rosé Pinot Noir 2021

Both beautiful and serious in intent, the First Vines Rosé demonstrates what can be done when some of the very best Pinot Noir fruit in New Zealand from old vines on great Felton Road soils is farmed, picked, and vinified with the intention of making a truly special, age worthy Rosé. A beautiful pale tea rose hue, a complex nose of bright berries, florals and tarragon, leads to ruby grapefruit, fresh strawberry and fresh fennel fronds on the palate. A dry Rosé of great purity and intensity, it has a tangy acidity and a striking tension; its pronounced texture a result of time on lees and in seasoned oak. Long and mineral on the finish, this is a refined and sophisticated Rosé.
