Nose: The bouquet opens with bright aromas of fresh strawberries and red cherries, complemented by delicate rose petal notes and a whisper of Turkish delight. Subtle hints of mango and pink grapefruit add tropical brightness, while a faint mineral edge speaks to the wine’s stony terroir.

Palate: Luscious yet crisp, the palate balances ripe strawberry and peach flavours with ruby red grapefruit and a distinctive mineral quality. Bright acidity keeps everything fresh and lively, while the wine’s texture remains smooth and approachable. There’s an attractive richness here that defies the pale colour in the glass.

Finish: The finish lingers with subtle rhubarb notes and a clean, refreshing acidity that invites another sip. A hint of stone and clay minerality adds depth and complexity to the close.

This versatile rosé pairs beautifully with grilled seafood, tomato-based pasta dishes, or casual barbecue fare including sausages and vegetable skewers.

Serve well-chilled at 8-10°C in a white wine glass to capture the wine’s aromatic complexity and crisp structure.

Perfect for sharing at summer gatherings, pairing with weekend lunches, or as a thoughtful gift for wine lovers who appreciate quality Central Otago expressions at an everyday price.
