Kiwi Wine Makers, Waiana Estate, Launch ‘INDIAN SUMMER’, The Perfect (Sustainable) Rosé For Summer
Words by Sarah Smith – Only Everything
Just when you thought you’d had enough Rose´, our friends from across the pond, Waiana Estate, New Zealand’s hottest up-and-coming sustainable rosé specialist has bought out a five star 2019 vintage of their Indian Summer Rosé to grace our Aussie lips!
After remaining a top-seller within the supermarket chains in both Asia and Singapore, the Provençal-style blend of pinot gris, viognier, cinsault and merlot will now be available nationwide (hell yeah).
We suppose you’re wondering who Waiana Estate are? Let’s clear this up for you – because they’re damn incredible and if you’re yet to taste then we urge you to leave the house now! PS – THIS IS NOT AN AD. They’re a boutique, family-owned rosé specialist based in the beautiful Tukituki Valley in Hawkes Bay, with a singular focus on producing the best rosé wine that New Zealand can make. All of their rosé blends are made from sustainably grown grapes (nice one, guys).
Indian Summer, the primary rosé blend of Waiana Estate, is a dry, ultra-pale, Provençal-style blend with a refreshing minerality infused in its onion skin colour. It incorporates a unique blend of Hawkes Bay pinot gris, viognier, cinsault and merlot grapes grown primarily at Waiana Estate. This wine has been allowed time to rest on its lees until early September to achieve the complexity the winemaking team were looking for in the blend.
The best part? This drop is only $26 and now available at all BWS stores Aus-wide! So get yourself a bottle and hit the sun 😉
