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

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.
