From older vines in the iconic Moira Vineyard—the crown jewel of the Malivoire portfolio, located on the famed Beamsville Bench—comes this charming Pinot Noir rosé. It’s packed with flavour, bright acidity, and an expressive, evolving finish… this rosé truly has it all. On the nose, vibrant aromas of red cherry, strawberry, peach, lime, and a hint of violet leap from the glass. The palate is equally captivating: the intensity is striking, the balance spot-on, and there's a wonderful pulse of energy throughout. Flavours of rhubarb jam, raspberry, orange zest, white peach, and maraschino cherry unfold with clarity. This well-priced rosé has beautiful definition and delivers a seductive touch of salinity on the finish. Tasting it, I couldn’t help but feel a connection to the red Moira Pinot Noir—it’s a clear expression of the vineyard’s distinct terroir. (Carl Boucher, March 14, 2025)
