The Landing Bay of Islands Rosé 2017

Rose from New Zealand – Northland & Auckland
Review Date - 20-Nov-2017

17/20

Bright, light strawberry pink colour with some depth, and slight purple hues on the rim, pale edged. The nose is fresh with light and tightly bound aromas of savoury quince, red cherry and cranberry fruit with bright red florals and subtle mouthwatering mineral notes, Dry to taste and medium-bodied, the palate has light quince and cranberry flavours, with red floral notes and thirst-quenching mineral nuances. The mouthfeel is fresh and lively, and the wine flows with good energy and zest, along a fine line of subtle textures, leading to a light, dry finish of quince and florals. Serve as an aperitif, or with antipasto over the next 2 years. This dry rosé has quince, cranberry and strawberry flavours on a fresh and lively palate. 50% Syrah and 50% Merlot, WBP, going direct to press with no skin contact, and cool-fermented in stainless steel to 12.5% alc. and 7 g/L RS. 17.0/20 Nov 2017 RRP $24.99
