Te Kairanga Estate Rosé 2025

Tasting Notes

Dry, elegant and genuinely sophisticated, Te Kairanga's Rosé is made in the Provençal tradition. Pale in colour, restrained in sweetness, quietly captivating. Pinot Noir grapes from the Martinborough Terrace vineyards are gently pressed to capture a blush of colour and delicate strawberry and watermelon on the nose. The palate is fresh and dry, with subtle red fruit and a floral lift, finishing clean and refreshing. The rosé for those who take rosé seriously.
