Meet Charlie, Valli’s first-ever rosé.

Made from pinot noir grapes grown in Gibbston, this beautiful vintage bursts with fresh red berry flavours.

Named after Charlie, a much-loved therapy dog who brings comfort and cuddles to cancer patients and their families at a Canterbury cancer care facility, this is beautiful rosé with a wonderful cause at its heart.

Proceeds from every bottle will be donated to Baskets of Blessing, an Arrowtown-based, volunteer-run food rescue charity supporting locals facing unexpected hardship.

Available from Kinross.nz or at the Kinross Cellar Door or W**e Store.
