The Top 10 Tastings at WineFolio usually aim to look at a \u2018Varietal\u2019 &#8211; we separate Syrah, Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Noir and judge the wines on the merits of that variety. For a wine to win the Top 10 Tasting, it not only has to be the most delicious wine on the day; but it needs to be varietally-specific. By that I mean it has to taste of &#8211; for example &#8211; Sauvignon Blanc\u2026and what a customer might reasonably expect to be getting. In New Zealand, we produce very good Pinot Noir, but, also, a Central Otago example might have quite different flavours to one from Wairarapa. Getting those expressions across in the glass is what helps make it a \u201cTop 10\u201d wine.<\/p><p>At the beginning of this latest Top 10 Tasting, our assembled panel talked about ros\u00e9 wine in general. Ros\u00e9 isn\u2019t necessarily seen as a \u2018serious\u2019 wine &#8211; it isn\u2019t varietally specific &#8211; but then, neither is Champagne or ChateauNeuf-du-Pape. Both of which are undoubtedly serious wines. Ros\u00e9 can be made in a multitude of ways, styles and from a range of grapes \u2013 to end up at that lovely pale pinkness in your glass.<\/p><p>Can a ros\u00e9 be a 100 point wine? Any wine can hit that theoretical height, but you can argue that it is harder for a ros\u00e9 to do so, as you don\u2019t have that \u2018varietal typicity\u2019 at play. We tasted several wines that would have won a gold medal according to show-judging scores, and a lot of good silver medal standard wines too. The majority of the examples tasted in our Top 10 Tasting would sit happily on any table and be enjoyed. There were only a couple of wines that our panel thought of as outliers. There were a couple where the wines were more distinctly varietal than a customer might expect in a ros\u00e9 \u2013 tasting more like \u2018a pink Sauvignon Blanc\u2019, for example.<\/p><p>Ros\u00e9 has really come of age in New Zealand, and there\u2019s no doubt that producers are taking it seriously! Many wine labels now have a ros\u00e9 in their range, and a lot of the wines we tried were \u2018straightforward\u2019 examples of what customers have come to enjoy in this, increasingly popular, style of wine.<\/p><p>On to the (winning) wines..<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-c072f20 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"c072f20\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-6525c58\" data-id=\"6525c58\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0621a8a elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"0621a8a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"735\" height=\"464\" src=\"https:\/\/winefolio.co.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Serieux-rose-1024x647.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-10245\" alt=\"Askerne S\u00e9rieux rose\" srcset=\"https:\/\/winefolio.co.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Serieux-rose-1024x647.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/winefolio.co.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Serieux-rose-300x190.jpg 300w, https:\/\/winefolio.co.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Serieux-rose-768x485.jpg 768w, https:\/\/winefolio.co.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Serieux-rose-1536x971.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/winefolio.co.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Serieux-rose.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 735px) 100vw, 735px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-7120757 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"7120757\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-dbe12e4\" data-id=\"dbe12e4\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0da3d25 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"0da3d25\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h5><b>No. 1: Askerne &#8211; S\u00e9rieux<\/b><span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h5><p>One of a pair of ros\u00e9s from Askerne \u2013 both had their admirers, and this one made the step up from third place the last time we did a Top 10 Tasting of Ros\u00e9, to the top spot this time around.

The Malbec and Mourv\u00e8dre were direct pressed and individually cool fermented in stainless steel tanks. The other ros\u00e9 components were sourced via saign\u00e9e (juice drain off) from freshly crushed Reserve red fruit parcels, also cool fermented in stainless steel tanks. A combination of different aromatic yeast strains were used to build complexity.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-ec00195 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"ec00195\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-b202377\" data-id=\"b202377\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4367c7c elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"4367c7c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Different combinations of the various components were trialed until the best blend was found. The blend has always had Mourv\u00e8dre in it, which is what gives it&#8217;s distinctiveness, a kind of floral, tropical lift and juiciness on the palate. Malbec became a feature in the 2022 Serieux, and again worked really well in the 2023. The Malbec brings a wonderful brightness to the wine, and have found it a good fit with the Mourv\u00e8dre.
