Light salmon in color.



On the nose citrus, lemons, light strawberries, grapefruits, green apples, white pepper, spices and green vegetables.

Medium plus in body with medium plus acidity, crisp and refreshing.

Dry on the palate with limes, grapefruits, citrus, green apples, bitter herbs and spices.

Medium finish with bitter almonds.

This New Zealand Rosé is drinking nicely, crisp and refreshing. Not fully balanced, but enjoyable by the porch or pool.

Tastes like a Sauvignon Blanc, the color is like a Rosé. Needs to be very chilled or it's too bitter.

13% alcohol by volume.

83 points.

$12.

To me Pinot Noir makes a better flavorful Rosé than most of the Grenache blends, although I am not a fan of Rosé wine, but this one was one of the better ones I tasted in a recent private tasting. Nice fruit aromas with strawberry and notes of citrus on the palate. Crisp on the finish ending with a pleasant fruit character. Tasting Sample.

Never thought I’d say that I would by a rosé twice. But given the chance I’d buy this wine again.... in bulk.

Decent , very steel-vat , but fruity and drinkable on a hot afternoon

The closest wine to my Dad’s homemade Rosé, love the nostalgia and the taste.
