At the beginning of this latest Top 10 tasting, our panel discussed what role a ros\u00e9 wine plays in the world of wines. Ros\u00e9 isn\u2019t necessarily seen as a \u2018serious\u2019 wine, and by that I would suggest that it is a relatively uncomplicated style of wine that can be lighter, delicate and, in many cases, as a wine to have with food. It brightens the table, brightens the food, and yet doesn\u2019t ask difficult questions \u2013 an ideal dinner guest!<\/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. For a Pinot Noir to be considered a great Pinot Noir \u2013 maybe even a 100\/100 score \u2013 then it needs to be not just an outstanding wine, but also a great version of it\u2019s varietal. Just as a Chardonnay, or Syrah can be considered great expressions of those varieties. But ros\u00e9 isn\u2019t a variety and it 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. We did allocate scores, to determine the Top 10, and we had a few that would have won a gold medal according to show-judging scores, and a lot of good silver medal standard wines too.<\/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

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 the majority of the examples tasted in our Top 10 Tasting would sit happily on any table and be enjoyed. There were only a handful of wines that our panel thought might not \u2018do what it says on the tin\u2019. There was a \u2018natural\u2019 wine that was definitely more orange than pink\u2026 and a couple where the wines were more distinctly varietal than a customer might expect in a ros\u00e9 \u2013 tasting very clearly of Sauvignon Blanc, for example.<\/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

The Top 10 wines drew a lot of discussion, re-tasting and comparative judging. As one wine would draw admiration, so we would re-taste another to compare\u2026 and now that one seemed to have developed and grown! The expressions with a tiny amount more character and depth tended to nudge ahead, but that\u2019s not to say that some of the more \u2018straightforward\u2019 examples aren\u2019t glorious examples of what our winemakers are now producing in this, increasingly popular, style.<\/p>

Aromatic, ripe red fruit \u2013 raspberry, cranberry, Morello cherry and plum, with a delicate floral note. The panel noted \u201cBeautifully balanced, with tremendous depth\u201d. Dry, with just a nudge of fruit sweetness, and a flowing acidity. Complex, with layers of flavours revealing themselves as the wine opened up in the glass. Brioche and cr\u00e8me caramel as well as a hint of star anise and rosehip syrup. Vibrant, deep and with real character. Well-liked by everyone who tasted this.<\/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

Misha Wilkinson<\/strong> had this to say about their winning wine:<\/p>

“Central Otago enjoyed a very good season in 2021 in terms of crop levels (unlike much of New Zealand) and the quality of our fruit was outstanding. For our Pinot Noir Ros\u00e9, the selection of the Pinot Noir clones is an important factor. We generally prefer a Dijon clone 114 for a large portion of the blend. It\u2019s grown on one of our lakefront blocks and one of first of our Pinot Noir blocks to ripen due to its lower altitude. The Dijon 114 clone has its origins in the C\u00f4te d\u2019Or in Burgundy, and the grapes have tight bunches with classic Pinot Noir flavours of black cherry, and a lovely spice with good skin structure and tannins. The rest of the blend was composed of a classic Pommard UCD 6 clone which gives bright red berry fruit characters and perfume.<\/em><\/p>

Hand-picked over two days, the fruit was in pristine condition with lower sugar and acid levels than normal. The fruit was \u00a0destemmed and crushed into picking bins for soaking to extract colour and flavour from the skins for about 24 hours before being pressed off. Our intention is to extract some colour and a little structure from the grape skins but not enough to extract the bitter tannins. Whilst most of the juice was fermented in cool temperatures in stainless steel tanks to keep the freshness we want in our Ros\u00e9, we also fermented a small amount of juice in older oak barrels to add some complexity. So our 6th<\/sup> vintage of \u2018The Soloist\u2019 Pinot Ros\u00e9, has our signature dry style with a beautiful perfume, plenty of varietal character and fruit purity and we think it\u2019s one of our best examples yet!”<\/em><\/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

Noticeably darker in hue than what we saw as \u2018typical\u2019 in the tasting. On the nose is watermelon, toffee apple, redcurrant, greengage and framboise. \u201cA red wine drinkers\u2019 ros\u00e9\u201d noted one of our judges. A dry style, with a real pop of flavour at the front. Then diving into an intense, layered palate lit with ripe red berry flavours, and a green herbal edge. Turning into a plush, textural finish, with a bit more sweetness developing.<\/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

One of a pair of new wines from Askerne \u2013 both had their admirers, and both made our Top 10. Big bouquet of summer fruits \u2013 red berries, melon, white peach and apricot, with a likeable bubblegum note on the nose as well. Bright and youthful – a taut, dry style, but with \u201cvolume and texture right through the middle\u201d according to our notes. Vibrant, refreshing and with lots going on. Serious, indeed.<\/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

4th<\/sup> place Palliser Estate Ros\u00e9 2021<\/strong><\/p>

Classic pale pink in the glass, with exuberant aromas of strawberry, redcurrant, cherry and honeysuckle on the nose. Dry, elegant and quiet to begin, but building into a big, rich mid palate with great complexity. Integrated acidity and a crisp, freshness throughout. Not just summer berries though – we found a citrus peel nuance and a little hazelnut, layered underneath the red fruits. \u201cGenerous\u201d appeared on more than one set of notes.<\/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

\u201cSummer in a glass\u201d was quickly written in our tasting notes for this one. That classic strawberries and cream flavour, appears on the nose here, with sour cherry, raspberry, stone fruit and pink apple. Dry, beautifully crafted with a real finesse. A balance of fresh acidity, ripe fruit basket, and even a nibble of tart, pithy fruit tannin. A herbal, leafy note, something like chamomile and borage. By the finish, this is really expressive, persistent and power-packed.<\/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

Ginger, matcha tea and umami all featured as descriptors during the tasting of this Waiheke wine. There\u2019s also an earthiness underlying the ripe, red palate, alongside a herbal and spice.

The other one of the pair \u2013 this one sweeter and with a light spritz on the tongue. A fascinating bouquet – perfumed with cranberry, red liquorice, ginger, apple, almond and a rose petal floral. The character continues further in, with fennel and chamomile herbals, spices popping up through the strawberry and watermelon flavours that dance over the palate.

Palest rose-pink in the glass, with floral notes coming through on the nose.

10th<\/sup> place The Landing \u2018Boathouse\u2019 Ros\u00e9 2021<\/strong><\/p>

Delicate \u2013 shy almost \u2013 on the nose, with just a whisper of citrus peel, white cherry and plum. A nice mineral salinity, with a crisp acidity that gives drive and flow through the palate. Riper fruit flavours develop and it shows a little spice and savoury nuance like preserved lemon, oyster shell \u2013 again, on the briney side of things. That sweet-sour contrasting interplay is lively and gives this quite restrained wine a pleasing edge.<\/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
