Hailing from the sun-soaked Wairau Valley in Marlborough, this sparkling rosé showcases fruit sourced from estate and grower vineyards renowned for their balance of flavour ripeness and natural acidity. The wine spends a minimum of two years ageing on lees in bottle, developing biscuity, yeasty notes that complement the bright red fruit core. At 12.5% ABV, it maintains elegance and poise throughout.

Nose: Fresh strawberry, watermelon, and subtle spice lead the aromatic profile, layered with hints of cotton candy and ripe citrus. Delicate yeast-derived notes add a creamy, biscuity complexity that lifts the vibrant fruit character.

Palate: The palate delivers generous flavours of strawberry, red apple, and ripe peaches, balanced by a creamy mousse and lively acidity. A gentle chalkiness provides structure, while autolytic richness from extended lees contact adds weight and a nutty dimension to the mid-palate.

Finish: The finish is crisp and refreshing, with lingering notes of green apple and berry fruit. A touch of spice and a dry, clean exit make this a wine that invites another sip.

Pair Cloudy Bay Pelorus NV Rosé with fried noodles and prawns, char-grilled seafood salads, or delicate Asian-inspired dishes that echo its fresh fruit and savoury complexity. Serve well chilled between 6-8°C in a flute or tulip glass to showcase the fine, persistent bubbles and aromatic lift.
