2021 Pyramid Valley North Canterbury Rosé

Sam Kim - Wine Orbit

This is seriously good; the delicately lifted bouquet shows apricot, strawberry, oatmeal and lemon pith notes, leading to a wonderfully concentrated palate offering terrific fruit intensity, while remaining elegant and refined. Beautifully textured with subliminal phenolic grip, finishing mouth-watering and persistent

Crafted from vines planted in the early 1980s, the 2021 Rosé (North Canterbury) is whole-bunch-pressed and settled in tank before being wild-fermented in wooden cuves and puncheons, then left on lees until the spring. The end result is a wine that blossoms in the mouth with ripe red fruit and a light savory note. While there's a hint of sweetness on the finish (the fermentation naturally stopped with 4g/L r.s.), it finishes with a refreshing line of acidity and natural spritz.

A bit of reduction on the nose but with some air you are greeted with aromas of wild flowers, macadamia nut and white peaches. Medium-bodied. A rather complex palate with floral and savory spice playing off one another. Nicely concentrated and bright.

Coral-hued, there's a gentle perfume of peach, strawberry and cream aromas that leads to a rounded palate of textural interest, mouthwatering acidity and an overall balance that implies versatile food friendliness.
