Rosé
Domain Road
Pinot Noir Rose Central Otago 2019
Simon Nash: Pink bright some body, strawberry shortcake,
quite nice, off dry, good acidity, fresh, quite lively, Grippy,
good fruit.
Matt Kirby: Attractive, light tuned fruit, melon and
watermelon. Good drive focus.
Barry Riwai: Smokers lollies, blood orange, some flinty
reduction. Dry linear palate, finishes with minerality,
would like more fruit generosity.
Hunter’s
Marlborough MiruMiru
Rose NV
Simon Nash: Nice pale, salmon pink
colour, bright leafy strawberry nose, good
fruit but quite simple, soft, but short.
Matt Kirby: Complex biscuitty, rose, tea
leaf, palate is textured and full.
Barry Riwai: Pretty pink, creamy hint of
berry, peach, creamy meal, tasty grains,

Wild Earth Wines

With almond meal and good balance.
Barry Riwai: Vibrant colour, rosehip and spice, raspberry, very complex,
bone dry finish with oodles of berry and
apple flavour, very good structure
and soft acidity.
