Barrington River Block Central Otago Pinot Noir Rosé 2017

Description

"It is beautifully ripe and fragrant on the nose showing nectarine, watermelon, Gala apple and citrus aromas, followed by juicy palate that is elegantly rounded and smooth" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit

"Pale rosé with a blush of pink. Dry, but not searingly dry, with gentle watermelon and crushed strawberry flavours and an ethereal texture. A charming wine with a perfect balance of subtle sweetness and fruity acidity. Impressive" Bob Campbell, Master of Wine, Real Review Sep 2017

"Bright strawberry pink with a suggestion f peach and with some depth, , a little lighter on the edge. The nose is elegant and softly fresh with aromas of soft red berry fruits and strawberries and cream along with lifted red florals, and hints of mouthwatering minerals. The aromatics form a finely concentrated core. Off-dry to taste and medium-bodied, the palate has gently rich flavours of strawberries and cream with fragrant red floral lift, and a hint of confectionary. The fruit has good depth and elegant concentration. The mouthfeel is lively and bright and enlivened by fresh, lacy acidity, and the wine is carried along a very soft-textured, mouthwatering line leading to a fragrant finish. This is an elegant and refined Pinot Noir Rosé with strawberry floral and hints of confection on a mouthwatering palate. 100% hand-picked Pinot Noir from the ‘River Block’, fermented in tank to 12.8% alc. and 5.8 g/L RS" Raymond Chan, Jul 2018

The wine offers bright fruit intensity and vibrancy, nicely structured by refreshing acidity. Attractively fruited and instantly appealing
