Wooingtree Blondie Blanc de Noir Rosé 2019

Wooing Tree Vineyard is a family-owned estate located in the heart of Cromwell, Central Otago - one of New Zealand’s most expressive winegrowing regions. Founded in 2002 by Stephen and Thea Farquharson, together with family, the vineyard has become a local landmark not just for its wines, but also for its namesake: the historic Wooing Tree, a beloved meeting spot now standing proudly among the vines.

Set on 16 hectares, Wooing Tree is planted primarily to Pinot Noir, with smaller parcels of Chardonnay, Gewürztraminer, and Blanc de Noir (known affectionately as “Blondie”). Over two decades, the team has built a reputation for wines that are both generous and finely structured. The vineyard’s close ties to the Cromwell community and landscape give the wines a distinctive identity - one rooted in authenticity, family, and the charm of a region in full expression.

Made from 100% Pinot Noir grapes reflecting the Blanc de Noir winemaking style, grown on Wooing Tree family-owned vineyard Cromwell on free-draining sandy loam and schist gravels. Hand-picked in April 2019 then gently whole bunch pressed. Minimal skin contact resulted in the delicate pink hue. The juice was fermented in stainless steel to retain the varietal and fruit characteristics.
