Reviews and Ratings

Jane Staples - Certified Sommelier rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

Dry and delightful Marlborough rosé from the NZ Lighter line. Lovely summery peach and strawberry notes. 9% alcohol. Perfect for wedding brunches and patio sipping.

Mary Anne van Gaal rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

This beautiful Rose is full flavoured yet lighter in alcohol content at only 9% because the cool climate is used to ripen the grapes more slowly thus naturally producing less sugar to ferment into alcohol. The light salmon colour hints at the strawberry aroma and the flavours of raspberry, strawberry and honey. Sweet but with a dry finish. Great paired with barbecued seafood skewers. Tasted May 9, 2019 at New Zealand Pure Discovery 2019.

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
