Rosé from New Zealand - Marlborough
Review Date : 05-Sep-2025
Bright, even, pale blush pink. The nose is elegantly full, with aromas of strawberry, raspberry, watermelon and blossom. Medium-light bodied, aromas of raspberry and watermelon lead the palate, followed by strawberry sorbet and cherry blossom. The fruit is gentle and harmonious, zingy acidity flows along with fine-textured phenolics, leaving a silky mouthfeel and a long, dry, enticing finish. Elegantly composed with a refreshing flow and length. Serve as an aperitif or match with steamed crab over the next 3 years. A blend of Pinot Noir, Syrah and Viognier, fermented cool in stainless steel to 12.5% alc, 2.5 g/l RS. Aged on fine lees for four months. 18.5+/20 pts (94 pts) Sep 2025
