Natalie's Score: 89/100

From Oyster Bay this wine is a New Zealand Rosé from Marlborough, made from the Pinot Noir wine grape. Lots of cherries, strawberries flavours here that will pair perfectly with a summer salad. A vibrant, mouth-watering New Zealand rosé made from the classic Pinot Noir grape. Notes of field strawberries with racy acidity for shellfish and seafood. Medium-bodied. Ready for a sunny deck or dock when you are.

Rosé food pairings: grilled lamb lollipops, chicken kebabs, vegetable kebabs.

Reviews and Ratings

Oyster Bay 2017 Pinot Noir is medium-bodied, dry and vibrant with juicy red berry fruit, ripe red plum flavours on the palate. Tannins are fine and this Pinot Noir rosé with grapes sourced from the Wairau Valley has good structure and balance. Pair with grilled lamb kebabs. - Community Wine Reviews

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.
