The story of Rua Pinot Rose

Rua comes from Central Otago, where Sir Clifford Skeggs and his wife bought land at Bannockburn in 1995 and planted their first vines the following year. The label is now run as a second generation family business, alongside Mora Wines, and the Skeggs family farms 90 hectares across Bannockburn and Pisa, at around 45 degrees south.

The Pinot Rosé is made entirely from Pinot Noir, the same grape as the Rua red, grown in those two sub-regions. It comes under screwcap and finishes dry, in a crisp, vibrant style. Look for strawberry, summer blueberry and a touch of orange blossom. The label carries Celmisia semicordata, an alpine daisy that grows around the vineyards.

Serve it well chilled. Dry and fruity rather than sweet, it suits roast chicken, grilled fish or a vegetarian plate, and it is easy beside a summer salad.
