Church Road Gwen Hawke's Bay Rosé 2020

Description

• Bone-dry
• Stone fruits
• Zesty
• Long finish

Beautifully refreshing, this is a subtle, elegant rosé in a bone-dry style. Flavours and aromas range from subtle red fruits and stone fruit, through to more lifted floral, guava, gentle herbal notes and flinty, mineral complexity. The palate is finely textured, with a long, zesty, slate like finish.

A celebration of the love between their pioneering winemaker, Tom McDonald, and his supportive wife Gwen, who helped establish Church Road winery.

Enjoy this wine now rather than cellaring as it is unlikely to benefit from further aging.

Food Pairing: A versatile and food friendly style of rose ideal as a refreshing aperitif, yet well suited to a range of lighter, fresher dishes, particularly where an element of umami features. Try with sashimi dishes or freshly shucked oysters.
