The ‘Alexander’ Martinborough wine brand of Michael Finucane and Roz Walker has yielded some excellent Pinot Noir wines from fruit from the 5 ha Hinakura Road vineyard over the past 15 years. There is a small amount of Merlot planted too, and the 2016 Alexander Merlot went gold at the recent Bragato Wine Awards (I rated it 5-stars, click here for my review). This should not divert attention to the other wines made my Michael and Roz, including their ‘Raumati’ Rosé. ‘Raumati’ means ‘summer’ in Maori, and the wine will come into its own over the coming warmer period. Here, I review the new 2017 Alexander ‘Raumati’ Rosé made from Pinot Noir. For availability, contact Michael Finucane on Tel: 06 306-8171 or Email: [email protected]
