"Offering good value, the 2020 vintage is a 50:50 blend of Pinot Noir and Pinot Gris, grown at a single site in the Awatere Valley. Bright, light pink, it is very fresh and lively, with strong, strawberryish, slightly peachy and spicy flavours, and a dry finish. Enjoyable from the start" New Zealand Wines 2021, Michael Cooper’s Buyer’s Guide

A soft peach colour with a golden hue in the glass. The wine is pretty and aromatic on the nose, with notes of pomegranate molasses, red toffee apple, strawberry conserve and crab-apple jelly. This is a dry styled Rosé with a beautiful, round mouthfeel with a smooth and ethereal texture.

Food Pairing: Perfect as an aperitif. Pairs well with halloumi or goat’s cheese salads, or lightly grilled fish and seafood, and melon with prosciutto.
