Hiro Rose

This stunning rosé is named after the daughter of the owners. She is vivacious, talented and full of energy – just like her namesake wine! Enjoy with a fresh lobster and mango salad.

The wine is matured on fine lees for additional 9 months with a regular battônage before the final blending and bottling. Approx 20% was matured in second fill 500 litre barrels.

The wine is made in true Provençal style. Dry and fruit-driven, the wine is made from 90% Grenache and 10% Cinsault. Grapes are hand-harvested early morning at around 23 balling. The winemaking process is done in reductive conditions with the use of dry ice and carbon dioxide gas. Grapes are crushed at 5°C with approximately 3 hours skin contact gained during a light pressing. Two days of juice settling followed by racking before spontaneous fermentation at 14°C for approximately 19 days.
