Did you know whenever you crush a grape, either red or white, the juice comes out clear? To give wine its colouring, it is left soaking with the skin of the grape. Rosés can come in a whole spectrum of pink, but here at Paddons Paddock, we gently crush our Central Otago Pinot Noir grapes and leave the skins soaking for three days – hence the gorgeous red colour. The resulting Rosé is less sweet than some, and full of the deeper flavours of Pinot Noir. 

The winemaker: Our Rosé winemaker is Central Otago legend Dean Shaw. Dean has been making wine with grapes from more than a dozen different vineyards for 18 years, which probably makes him one of the most experienced winemakers in the Central Otago and Queenstown Lakes areas. He started his education in New Zealand before traveling to France where he studied winemaking in Burgundy, Austria and South Africa, and has worked with a number of Central Otago and Queenstown wineries.
