Rose from New Zealand – Wairarapa & Wellington  17.5/20Bright, soft, pale salmon pink colour, pale on rim. This has a very fresh nose of herb-infused strawberries, redcurrants and watermelon with a touch of fennel, the bouquet showing good intensity. Medium-dry to taste, this is medium-bodied, with gently luscious, delicate and vibrant strawberry fruit flavours along with hints of herbs at the core, but unfolding with red floral notes through the palate. Fresh acidity adds to the juiciness of the wine, and leads to a crisp, but fruity finish that is elegant in expression. This is a delicate, but juicy rosé with strawberry and herb flavours that will match salads and tapas over the next 2 years. Pinot Noir fruit picked for the production of rosé, given a light pressing for a delicate colour, fermented to 12.5% alc. and 5.9 g/L rs. Certified organic. 17.5/20 Jan 2012 RRP $29.95
