Colin McKone rated this wine as 86/100 with the following review:

Medium pink with aromas of strawberry, melon and cranberry. It is medium bodied with mouthwatering acidity and has flavours of sour cherry, strawberry and lemon. This will pair well with fresh green salads, especially with summer berries. Tasted on February 7, 2022.
Lynn van der Linde rated this wine as 88/100 with the following review:

A darker rose in colour, but with a lively flavour and lighter on booze.
It’s summer in a glass!
Summer aromas of strawberries, cherries and rhubarb transform into a cranberry flavoured finish. Would make a lovely summer or holiday sangria with soda water and white or red cranberry juice.
Tasted Dec 2021.
Jennifer Havers rated this wine as 87/100 with the following review:

This wine has me reminiscing about warm summer days. Aromas of cherry, strawberry, and watermelon. with hints of orange. Medium bodied, smooth with ripe, red berry notes and a bright citrusy finish. Enjoy with smoked salmon appetizers.
Melanie Lloyd rated this wine as 88/100 with the following review:

Beautiful in the glass with a deep and rich fuschia colour. Notes of strawberry, cranberry, cantaloupe, and hints of cotton candy on the nose.

Light and slightly off-dry on the palate with a cranberry edge as well as sour cherry and juicy raspberry notes.

Pair with spicy tuna rolls, or with a summer salad with berries, nuts and feta.

Craig Haynes rated this wine as 88/100 with the following review:

Bushels of fresh red berry and peach notes headline this Peller Family creation from Ontario’s Niagara Peninsula appellation. For me, this Rosé’s refreshing acidity, off dry light weight feel, 9% alcohol by volume and its in-a- hurry-to-leave after taste unite to elevate the aroma + flavour experience offered by this wine. I’d serve this beverage with light salads all year round.

From the Peller Estate Winery, located in the Niagara wine region, the Rosé Light 2020 offers aromas of peach, watermelon, citrus blossom and dried rose. Light body, with a sharp acidity, the wine provides flavors of cherry, strawberry, citrus and pink peppercorn. Serve chilled and enjoy.

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.
