SOHO Westwood Waiheke Island Rosé 2026

Description

Dry, Floral, Strawberry

"Pristine and delicately fragrant, the bouquet reveals crunchy apple, raspberry, apricot, and subtle flinty nuances, leading to a brilliantly focused palate displaying a refined mouthfeel and excellent tension. Splendidly structured with poise and finesse, finishing persistent and elegant. At its best: now to 2029" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit

"A lovely bouquet and palate of fresh red berries and plum, quite floral too with a baby’s-breath flowers and rose the cherry. Crisp and dry with a superfine fruit tannins texture enhanced by the acid line. Balanced and well made, very easy to drink and an excellent choice for Spring and Summer coming up" Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier

"This very pale peach pink Rosé is made from 51% Merlot and 49% Syrah, lively and effortless with fresh acidity and silky phenolics yet mouth-filling, driving a red-fruited, dry, seductive finish" Candice Chow, Wine Chat 

"Bright, even, pale peach pink. The nose is elegantly full, with aromas of plum, red berry, rose petals, and cured meat. Medium-bodied, aromas of plum and red berry, entwined with rose petals, black pepper and subtle meaty notes. The fruit is mouthfilling, with gentle floral fragrance; lively acidity provides freshness and carries fine-textured phenolics to a dry, elegant finish. A seductive Rosé with a fine frame. Serve as an aperitif or match with bresaola over the next 3 years" Raymond Chan, Wine Reviews

"Westwood Rosé puts Waiheke Island’s freshest foot forward in this newly released 2026 wine, which comes to market in ideal time for spring. Light in colour, dry in taste and a flavoursome expression of Syrah and Merlot blended together, this wine delivers dried red fruit aromas, flavours of fresh watermelon and a twist of citrus on the finish which adds vibrancy to each flavoursome sip. The grapes in Westwood Rosé were grown on Soho’s Onetangi Vineyard on Waiheke. This is a polished, summery rosé with clean lines, vibrant aromas and a long finish. Enjoy in the sunshine this spring and summer" Joelle Thomson

"Rosehip and orange blossom bring a gentle floral lift over white strawberry, redcurrant and crunchy nectarine with understated elegance. On the palate, you get a sprinkle of dried herbs, autumn leaves, peach, and a breezy coastal freshness. Built for sophisticated afternoons and ready for the table, this rosé has layers and legs to confidently stand at the best-dressed tables" The Wine Writer 

An ornate Rose with edgy, artistic flair. Hand-crafted from Merlot and Syrah grown on our Onetangi Vineyard, Westwood will take control of your senses. Pale Blush in colour, with a vibrant blue hue, this Rose commences with black raspberry, pomegranate and redcurrant on the Nose. Splatters of liquorice, aniseed and pink peppercorns provide a savoury dimension to both the Nose and Palate. A hint of sumac spice and a seaweed like salinity further add to the complexity. Possessing serious length, Westwood is both tempting and invigorating with a mouth-wateringly delicious dry finish. Chic in colour, gorgeously decadent and a just a little fiery. Get in line Darling.
