review

Pristine and delicately fragrant, the bouquet reveals crunchy apple, raspberry, apricot, and subtle flinty nuances, leading to a brilliantly focused palate displaying a refined mouthfeel and excellent tension. Splendidly structured with poise and finesse, finishing persistent and elegant. At its best: now to 2029.

This very pale peach pink Rosé is made from 51% Merlot and 49% Syrah, lively and effortless with fresh acidity and silky phenolics yet mouth-filling, driving a red-fruited, dry, seductive finish.

Rosehip and orange blossom bring a gentle floral lift over white strawberry, redcurrant and crunchy nectarine with understated elegance. On the palate, you get a sprinkle of dried herbs, autumn leaves, peach, and a breezy coastal freshness. Built for sophisticated afternoons and ready for the table, this rosé has layers and legs to confidently stand at the best-dressed tables.

review

A lovely bouquet and palate of fresh red berries and plum, quite floral too with a baby’s-breath flowers and rose the cherry. Crisp and dry with a superfine fruit tannins texture enhanced by the acid line. Balanced and well made, very easy to drink and an excellent choice for Spring and Summer coming up.

Westwood Rosé puts Waiheke Island’s freshest foot forward in this newly released 2026 wine, which comes to market in ideal time for spring. Light in colour, dry in taste and a flavoursome expression of Syrah and Merlot blended together, this wine delivers dried red fruit aromas, flavours of fresh watermelon and a twist of citrus on the finish which adds vibrancy to each flavoursome sip. The grapes in Westwood Rosé were grown on Soho’s Onetangi Vineyard on Waiheke. This is a polished, summery rosé with clean lines, vibrant aromas and a long finish. Enjoy in the sunshine this spring and summer.
