Wairau River Rosé

Wairau River Rosé offers juicy red berry flavours including strawberry and cherry, alongside crisp watermelon and pink grapefruit notes. Vibrant acidity provides freshness and structure, while a subtle mineral edge on the finish reflects the Wairau Valley terroir. It's an easy-drinking style with genuine fruit expression and balance.

Wairau River Rosé is produced in the Wairau Valley within the Marlborough region of New Zealand's South Island. The winery is known for sustainable viticulture practices and hands-on winemaking that showcases the cool-climate character of the region. Marlborough's terroir contributes to the wine's fresh acidity and mineral qualities.

This rosé pairs beautifully with fresh summer salads, seared salmon, prawn pasta, and light seafood dishes. The vibrant acidity and red berry flavours also complement soft cheeses, charcuterie, and Mediterranean-style cuisine. Its food-friendly style makes it versatile for casual dining occasions.

Wairau River Rosé complements dishes with delicate flavours and fresh ingredients. Try it with Vietnamese rice paper rolls, grilled chicken salad, or tomato-based pasta. The wine's crisp acidity cuts through richer preparations while its fruit character supports lighter fare.

Serve Wairau River Rosé well chilled between 8-10°C to capture its aromatic lift and refreshing character. Use a white wine glass to concentrate the strawberry and citrus aromas. Avoid over-chilling, as this can mute the fruit expression and hide the wine's textural qualities.
