Rapaura Springs Reserve Marlborough Pinot Rosé 2025

Description

Dry, Floral, Pomegranate

"Pristine and delightfully expressed, the bouquet shows sweet cherry, strawberry, nectarine, and lemon peel aromas, followed by a lively palate that's juicy and refreshing. Beautifully balanced and lingering with plenty of tasty flavours. At its best: now to 2027" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Jun 2025

"Bright, even, pale blush pink. The nose is lifted and fragrant, with aromas of strawberry, stonefruit, watermelon and rose petals. Medium-light bodied, aromas of strawberry lead and intermix white peach, watermelon and rose petals. The fruit is vibrant and elegant, supported by refreshing acidity, and lending a crisp, moreish finish. This Pinot Rosé is elegant and smooth-flowing" Candice Chow, Raymond Chan Reviews, Jun 2025

This pretty Reserve Pinot Rose has subtle aromas of summer strawberries. Each glass is loaded with fresh summer berries and juicy stone fruit, with a cheerful pink colour and a refreshing finish.

Our Reserve wines are expertly crafted from selected vineyards with impressive flavour concentration and palate weight. The grapes for this wine were grown in the warmer inland vineyards of Marlborough’s Southern Valleys.

The 2025 vintage was one where patience was rewarded. The warm and sunny weather in the later months of 2024 made perfect conditions for an abundance of grapes. The cooler months in early 2025 delayed harvest as we patiently waited for the grapes to reach optimum ripeness. Selected parcels of Pinot Noir were harvested and left to sit on skins for two hours, before being gently pressed. The resulting wine is lifted by a dash of Pinot Gris.
