2023 Coco Maeve

NZ$36.00

Named for our youngest daughter, Coco Maeve is a Tavel and Bandol inspired dry Rosé, made with fruit purposefully designated for a wine of this style. The portion of our vineyard designated for Rosé is less exposed and more shaded by the canopies of surrounding forest than the portion designated for red wine, and therefore, ripens less evenly and more slowly. By allowing the vines to carry more fruit than we otherwise would were we aiming for red wine, we exacerbate this slow and gradual ripening process. Picked at comparatively low sugar levels, with freshness the ultimate goal, Coco Maeve is simultaneously refreshing and easy drinking as well as complex and enthralling with the potential for long life. Our daughter Coco is undeniably independent and full of character and in light of this, we have sought to make a Rosé which stands out on its own merits as a beautiful fine wine”

A bone-dry, barrel fermented Rosé made using predominantly Syrah, with the inclusion of Viognier and Mourvedre for added richness, aromatic lift and generosity of fruit. Fermented on lees, this is a purposeful Rosé capturing the freshness, structure and salinity of early picked fruit. Named for the winemakers youngest daughter.
