Eva Pemper Rose Marlborough New Zealand 2022

Eva Pemper was born and raised in Croatia, where she grew up in a wine making family. Her parents were her inspiration to go to winemaking due to their talent and passion.  She moved to New Zealand in 2012 and following part of her dream to travel and fell in love with New Zealand, the wine, the people and the places.

Due to the war and unrest in Croatia it was not easy or feasible to continue the family business in Croatia.  She moved to New Zealand to continue the family legacy and sharing their story. 

One of the fundamental inspirations of “Eva Pemper” wine is the significant influence of Croatian heritage in New Zealand’s wine industry. This history saw families coming here from Croatia over a hundred years ago with just their suitcases, following their dream. Today this dream has resulted in some of New Zealand’s highest profile wine industry people and brands that are well-known and respected here and around the world. The “Eva Pemper” brand is all about premium quality wines targeting restaurants, wine shops, wine bars and online wine sales.

The grapes were machine harvested and field destemmed before being gently pressed to stainless steel holding tanks for fermentation at cool temperatures with selected yeast strains with the aim to preserve the aromatic and fruit flavours from the vineyard.

Aromas of strawberries and cream, fresh red apples and cherries. A light scent of sweet rose and wild flowers add some breadth and complexity. Silky, fruity and very fresh with a whisper of youthful spritz highlighting freshness and youth. Plenty of acidity with core fruit flavours to reflect the bouquet. Well made.
