Popping with a gorgeous pink hue and aromas of luscious watermelon and raspberry, each glass is brimming with flavours of fresh red berries and delicious stone fruits.

The 2020 vintage will be remembered for many reasons. The driest summer on record allowed for perfect ripening conditions. Late summer brought Marlborough’s trademark cooler nights that are so important for aromatics and retention of acidity. 2020 would’ve been a stress-free harvest, if it wasn’t for COVID-19! The introduction of a nationwide lockdown to slow the spread of the virus coincided with the beginning of our harvest. Their vineyard and winery teams moved incredibly fast to adhere to very strict distancing and hygiene protocols to allow them to continue to operate. Despite the challenges, they're delighted with the quality and flavour concentration in the 2020 wines.

Overlooking the ocean, they grow their grapes near the coast in Blind River and the lower Wairau Valley. Their grapes enjoy the region’s long sunshine hours, while the ocean breeze keeps things cooler and drier. This wine is made from a blend of Pinot Noir and Pinot Gris. The Pinot Noir was kept on skins for 12 hours, before being gentled pressed. Both the Pinot Noir and Pinot Gris were cool fermented in stainless steel tank to retain the vibrant fruit aromas and flavours, before being tasted and carefully blended.

They capture the best bits of summer in every glass of Summerhouse, so you can enjoy life’s simple pleasures all year round.
