4 Stars - Yvonne Lorkin
"If you were expecting a soft , light, simple rose youd be wanting to do a U-turn out of the cul-de-sac because this wine is bursting with apple, peach and cherry characters. Brisk acidity and boasts a genously dry finish. "

93 Points 5 Stars - Sam Kim, Wine Orbit
'This is instantly appealing on the nose showing watermelon, apricot, mandarin and white floral aromas. The palate delivers terrific fruit purity and vibrancy, combined with fine texture and juicy acidity, making it elegantly flavoursome and highly enjoyable. At its best: now to 2023'.

We've done it again!............................. A mystery wine that punches well above its price tag. We can't tell you what this wine is we can tell you this price is well below its $19.99 RRP

Made by Top Wine Maker Matt Connell, Wine Maker of the Show at the New Zealand International Wine Show 2022. This is darn good buying.

Deeply coloured in the glass, Aromas of cranberry, watermelon and florals. The palate offers up satisfying weight, creamy textures and a classic Pinot rose flavour spectrum of crunchy red fruits. Strawberry, rasberry and watermelon.

After crushing the fruit, the skins remained in contact with the juice overnight to gently extract the delightful pale pink colour from them. This was followed by cold settling to clarify the juice which was then fermented at low temperatures to optimise the preservation of the aromatics. The fermentation was conducted using a special Rosé yeast from the South of France. A balanced amount of residual sugar was left in the wine to complement the acidity and to add palate weight and structure.

Try with grilled salmon for a match made in heaven.
