Sparkling Wine from New Zealand - Marlborough
Review Date : 11-Oct-2023
Bright, even, pale rose gold with depth. Very persistent and fine bead. The nose is full, with aromas of maraschino cherry, strawberry, flowers, and savoury, yeasty autolysis. Medium-full bodied, aromas of maraschino cherry and strawberry entwined with floral fragrances, a chalky palate unfolds almond croissant and subtle black pepper. The mouthfeel is smooth with a chalky line of phenolics; tangy acidity flows smoothly to a juicy, enticing finish. This Rosé Methode Traditionelle is elegant and harmonious with integrated red fruit and toasty autolysis complexity and features a chalky palate and silky mousse. Match with salmon gravlax and beef carpaccio over the next 3-5 years. 100% Pinot Noir, 12.% alc, 8.5g/l RS. 2+ years on lees. 18.5+/20 pts (94 pts) Oct 2023 RRP $49
