The majority of this fruit salad rosé is organically-grown Syrah from the red metal TK Vineyard on the Bridge Pa Triangle, Hawke’s Bay. In our preferred method for making rosé, this was picked at “red wine ripeness” to ensure a depth of flavour. Whole bunch pressed, wild ferment in stainless & barrique, the resultant wine was exceptionally pretty. Preferring more complexity, we added portions from our Cabernet Franc and Albariño cuvées for a showstopping blend.
The result is unabashedly fruity and exceptionally aromatic. Evoking strawberry lollies, Christmastime cherries, and cinnamon-spiked shortbread. The palate is dry with a light tannic grip that lends a seriousness to the aromatic candy-shop. Savour it or smash it, the decision is yours.

Three Fates
The Three Fates Story
Three Fates is the winegrowing and winemaking project of Holly Girven Russell, Casey Motley, and Hester Nesbitt. In June 2020 the group took on the farming of a small hillside vineyard in Maraekakaho, Hawke's Bay. With fruit quality and vine health as the focus, they were delighted to have a brilliant growing season for their debut.
In Greek Mythology the Three Fates, or Moirai, were the incarnations of destiny. They controlled the mother thread of life of every mortal from birth to death. They were independent, at the helm of necessity, directed fate, and watched that the fate assigned to every being by eternal laws might take its course without obstruction.
Hawkes Bay
Vines were first planted in 1851 by Marist missionaries and Hawke’s Bay enjoys a significant international reputation for producing some of the country’s best wines, red and white.
A relatively large and diverse region capable of producing a wide range of varieties to a very high standard, Hawke’s Bay is best known for its Red Blends and Chardonnay but aromatic whites are consistently good and Syrah is incredibly impressive.
