Toi Toi Sara’s Light Rosé 2025 shows a delicate pale pink hue with a soft silver sheen. The bouquet is brightly fruited and elegantly lifted, revealing sweet strawberry, apricot and red apple aromas layered with hints of lemon peel, rose and subtle spice. Juicy and beautifully rounded on the palate, this light-alcohol Rosé delivers fine texture with flavours of stone fruit, red pear and raspberry. A refreshing acid line brings vibrancy and balance, carrying through to a lingering, crisp finish with a gentle touch of fruit sweetness.  Sara’s Light Rosé keeps all the greatness of Sara’s Rosé but features 25% less calories and lower in alcohol.

The 2025 vintage of Sara’s Light Rosé was crafted from Hawke’s Bay fruit, with the Pinot Gris (just under 94%) and Pinot Noir (just over 4%) sourced from the Moteo Estate, forming the vibrant heart of the blend. A small portion of Merlot (around 1%) from Waikahu adds a subtle layer of texture and depth. Each parcel was harvested separately and lightly pressed to achieve the wine’s delicate blush hue before settling for clarification. The clear juice was cool fermented with selected yeasts to preserve freshness and varietal purity. Following fermentation, the individual components were blended to achieve balance and lightness, then bottled early to retain the bright aromatics and refreshing character of the 2025 vintage.

Food Pairing: Although perfect for any season, Sara’s Light Rosé is best enjoyed lightly chilled and shared outdoors with good company, simple grazing plates and fresh local fare.
