Reviews and Ratings

Jon Steeves - Sommelier rated this wine as 91/100 with the following review:

Wonderful Hawkes Bay rosé, fresh, crisp and very approachable. A real crowd pleaser and accessibly priced. Delicious canned mandarin orange, peach, fresh strawberry. Well balanced with exceptional mouthwatering acidity, integrated alcohol. Pair with white fish baked in banana leaf, green Thai curry with eggplant, or delicious summer salads. Drinking well on it's own. Tasted the 2016 vintage in May 2017. 91 points @BespokeTastings
Monique Sosa - Accredited Sommelier rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

Intense fresh and crisp aromas of blood orange and field raspberries. The palate shows clean and crisp citrus, wild strawberry and minerality flavours. Enjoy this high acid, light-bodied rosé with grilled Polish sausages. Tasted May 2017 by @sommsosa | bespoketastings.ca

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.
