Tasting Notes
This Hawke's Bay rosé opens with a vibrant, sun-kissed bouquet that immediately evokes the warmth of New Zealand's East Coast. On the nose, fresh strawberry and watermelon leap from the glass, accompanied by delicate rose petal and a whisper of white peach. The palate is crisp and refreshing, delivering juicy red berry fruit with a lovely tension from the region's natural acidity. A subtle mineral thread runs through the mid-palate, lending elegance and precision to the fruit-forward character. The finish is clean and lingering, with a gentle citrus zest that keeps the wine lively and moreish.
