Coopers Creek Hawke's Bay Rosé 2025

Description

Dry, Floral, Strawberry

"Beautifully fruited and enticing, the bouquet shows ripe strawberry, crisp apple, and rockmelon aromas. It's equally appealing in the mouth, delivering juicy fruit flavours with fine texture and vibrant acidity, finishing lingering and refreshing. At its best: now to 2027" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Nov 2025

Coopers Creek 2025 is a delicate salmon pink hue with soft violet highlights. The bouquet is vibrant and expressive, showing lifted notes of fresh strawberry, pear, and a hint of rose petal from fermentation. The palate is lively and juicy, brimming with bright red fruit and a fine, silky texture. Balanced beautifully by crisp acidity, it finishes fresh, elegant, and effortlessly drinkable.

Steeped in history, Coopers Creek have been crafted from New Zealand’s best grape growing regions for over 40 years. With a legacy of making great wines we are proudly family owned and sustainably produced – protecting our lands for future generations.

The 2025 vintage has been crafted solely from the Hawke’s Bay region made from predominantly the Pinot Gris grape coloured with a bit of Pinot Noir and Merlot. The Pinot Gris and Pinot Noir come from the Moteo Estate and make up 99% of the total volume, while the Merlot comes from Waikahu and comprises 1%. Grapes were harvested in small parcels and lightly pressed to tank for clarification. The clear juice was fermented at cool temperatures with a selection of yeasts to preserve and enhance varietal aromas. Following fermentations the different tanks were blended together and bottled early to preserve the delicate colour and aromas.

Food Pairing: Although our refreshing Rosé is suitable for any season and pairs well with any meal, the ideal Rosé experience requires just a modest platter featuring your preferred local cheeses, fresh ingredients, and nibbles. Enjoy outdoors in the sunshine, surrounded by friends and family, for the ultimate enjoyment.
