Clearview Black Reef Blush 2011 |
A full bodied rosé that fills the mouth with an opulent array of raspberry and cherry balanced by a long refreshing finish. This is a purpose built wine made from locally grown Te Awanga red varieties and the rare grape, Chambourcin.
The grapes were hand picked at 21 to 24 Brix depending on the grape variety and the wine has 4.5 grams per litre residual sugar. The predominant grape variety is Merlot blended with Chambourcin, a French hybrid very rarely planted in NZ. Chambourcin’s characteristic red fruit sweetness is supported by Malbec, Syrah and Cabernet Franc.
