Yering Station Pinot Noir Rosé Extra Dry 2008 - Victoria, Australia
Bin No. YSROSE08
Price: £12.00
The Yering Station Pinot Noir Rosé is made from 100% Pinot Noir grapes grown exclusively on Yering Stations own vineyards.
After careful grape selection in the vineyard the grapes are transported to the winery where they are given 12 - 36 hours contact with skins and then pressed.
