Straight 6 Pack
Alkina Kin Rose 2024 - 6 Pack
Aromatic Grenache Rosé, full of vibrant rose, watermelon and ginger spice. The bright fruit is delicately balanced with chalky texture and fresh acidity. A dry, juicy and thirst-quenching Rosé that also offers savoury persistence that pairs beautifully with lighter dishes.
[SEASON]
A long cold winter saw a dry start to the growing season, which
proceeded with little rainfall and no disease pressure. This
yielded open canopies and generally smaller bunches and
berries. After our earliest ever start to picking, on 5th February,
consistently warm days and nights meant a fast, compressed
vintage, with yields right in the zone and resulting sugar,
flavour and tannin development coming together beautifully.
The last fruit was pressed on the 23rd March, just before Easter.
2024 Kin Rosé is made up of 70% Block 25 Grenache, from
vines grown on clay with degraded schist. The remaining 30%
comes from vines in Block 18 on clay. Southern Cross Certified
organic and biodynamic.
Fruit was picked early, on 22 February, to achieve the bright
acidity and floral character. Then it was destemmed and
lightly pressed before cool fermentation in stainless steel.
After primary fermentation, the wine spent time on lees to
build texture. We deliberately avoided letting it go through
malolactic fermentation to retain that crisp acidity. Bottled in
winter to lock in freshness.
