This Rosé was made with 100% Merlot grapes from the Herringbone vineyard. This is a dry style wine that exhibits beautiful stonefruit aromas with a hint of spice and luscious strawberries and cream on the palate with a refreshing zesty finish. A versatile wine which can be enjoyed on its own or with many types of cuisine such as Asian, Mexican, or the good old Kiwi BBQ.
Located within the Bridge Pa Triangle - this area is highly regarded as a premium winegrowing region. The site is located on an ancient riverbed left behind when the Ngaruroro River (top left of the map) changed course and diverted behind Roy’s Hill. The soils are largely made up of free draining river gravels overlaid with alluvium formed from loess, greywacke and volcanic tephra from the Central Plateau. The stony soils, known as ‘Red Metals’ due to the distinctive rusty red colour, provide ideal conditions underground for growing grapevines.
Quality is consistent. Deeper bouquet and flavor than most Cali Zins. The Earth tones come thru beautifully about two years from Vintage. Wonderful
Red to contemplate on its own or with good food.
chianti at a good price- good value for everyday drinking
Not quite in same class as recent chianti from Wine Direct released earlier this year-but also half the price. Excellent value for a red wine: you don't have to worry about finding a superior food to match at this excellent price.
Hard pushed to find a NZ red at this price/quality ratio!
