🌱 Viticulture & Winemaking

Jas Swan hand-harvests grapes from organic vineyards, gently destemming and pressing by hand using a basket press. The Regent grapes receive ~5 days semi-carbonic maceration, while Pinot Blanc and Riesling are direct-pressed. All ferments use indigenous yeasts, with no additives, fining, filtration, or added sulphites.

🍓 Tasting Notes

Deep rosé in color with captivating notes of fresh raspberry, dried goji, wild mint, and black cherry cola. The palate is cool and mineral-driven, with a lively crispness and delicate, natural effervescence—charming, spicy, and refreshingly different .

🍽️ Food Pairing

Serve chilled (10–12 °C). Perfect as a chilled aperitif or alongside charcuterie, spicy Asian salads, grilled seafood, or picnic fare. It elevates any gathering with its fresh elegance.
