From organically-certified blocks of Pinot Noir in the Fairhall vineyard in the Wairau Valley, this Marlborough rose has an appealing shade of pink in the glass – like an old fashioned rose. Aromatic, with fresh red summer fruits on the nose and a gardenia-laden floral note. A lively acidity hits the spot and takes you through to a blushing core of redcurrant, strawberry and white nectarine – fleshy and ripe. Refreshing, agile and well-balanced, with a fruit sweetness that complements the drive from the zesty acidity. Texture is also light, but with a subtle creaminess and some sweet baking spice appears at the finish. A versatile food matching wine. 90pts
