review

Bright, even, very pale blush pink. The nose is fresh and full, with aromas of strawberry, stonefruit and rose. Medium-light bodied, aromas of strawberry, melded with peach, raspberry and rose. The fruit is fresh with excellent depth of flavour, crisp acidity carries subtle meaty nuance and a smooth palate to a refreshing finish. Serve as an aperitif or match with bresaola over the next 3 years.

review

Pristine and delicately fragrant on the nose with aromas of sweet strawberry, Gala apple, white flower, and lemon zest. The palate delivers brilliant focus and a linear mouthfeel, beautifully supported by vibrant acidity, making it mouth-watering and highly appealing. At its best: now to 2028.

17.5/20

A very light and delicate hue of pink and salmon leads to a bold This rosé pushes pale to new levels, channeling South French pink wines at their driest and best. Carter Vineyard on beautiful Waiheke Island is home to the grapes in this evocatively named rosé, which is full of fresh red berry flavours, underpinned aromas of almond, dried cranberry and a dry flavour from start to finish, supported by a medium body. Great drinking now and over the next two to three years.
