Jolie 2009

Wine Notes
Vibrant, fruit-driven Hawkes Bay Rosé with aromas of strawberry and cream and hints of
plum blossom. The palate is soft and elegant showing up front fl avours of raspberry and
red plum, fi nishing with a fi rm structure and crisp acidity.

Food Match
‘Jolie’ Rosé is an excellent warm weather wine, matching beautifully with a range of light
summer salads and rice dishes. Perfect as a chilled aperitif ‘Jolie’ is an ideal wine to
share with friends over a barbeque on a warm summer’s evening.

Viticulture
‘Jolie’ is created from a selection of our premium Merlot, grown at Paritua Vineyards in
the acclaimed ‘Triangle’ region of Hawkes Bay. The vines are spur pruned to provide
excellent fruit exposure, producing clean, ripe fruit with great concentration.

Cellaring Potential
‘Jolie’ is best enjoyed as a youthful wine to experience the refreshing, aromatic and
vibrant fruit characters.

Winemaking
Parcels of fruit were destemmed and transferred to tank. After a short period of cold
soaking, where the fruit was allowed to gently colour the juice, the clean juice was run
off to a separate tank. Fermentation was conducted at cool temperatures to retain the
gorgeous fruit fl avours, and to capture the iridescent rose colour that gave ‘Jolie’ her
name; ‘Jolie,’ French for ‘pretty.’ The wine was then fi ned and fi ltered to be ready for
bottling in late 2009.
