Martinborough Rosé | Pinot Noir | Vibrant and Characterful

Tasting Notes

On the palate, the wine jolts the senses awake with a rattle of thunder and a cloudburst of flavour. Sweet brioche and grapefruit curd combine with ice-cold pineapple fruju and cream-filled brandy snap. There is a momentary serenity to the balance, as if the touch of residual sugar has just fought a torrid battle with the vibrant acidity before both having fallen down exhausted. Creamy Brazil nuts and chewy aeroplane lollies add to the terry-towelling mouth feel which makes it impossible to catch between the teeth. It is light and soft up front, yet the back palate is as dazzling and agile as a Black Ferns inside/outside combination. It won't be hard to bend an occasion to intermingle perfectly with this wine.

A playful, characterful Martinborough rosé with vibrant acidity and a real sense of fun.

Why you'll love it: a rosé with genuine personality, bright, juicy and lively, exactly the wine to liven up a long lunch.
