our rosé

Lumé Rosé has been crafted for every-day easy drinking, made to be enjoyed in the New Zealand sunshine with family and friends. Lumé is produced utilising a provençal method of production and has been refined to perfection. Lumé is deliciously dry, with an exceptionally light pigment, and a light pink hue. 

Winemaking
Lumé's very first vintage was in 2020 - our rosé is made with care and skill by Digger Hennessy and Hugh Girling, who have been making fine wine in Marlborough for over 25 years. The grapes were harvested in late March, then upon arrival at the winery, the grapes were de-stemmed and crushed immediately, followed by 4 hours of skin contact. The juice was then pressed off and slowly fermented dry.

Cellaring
Best enjoyed within 2-3 years.

Food Pairings
Best paired with antipasto platters, cured meats, cheeses - a perfect wine with virtually any food!
