Stoneleigh Pinot Noir Rosé 2009

Posted by cfoldi On 11.9.10 0 comments


The nose has fragrant aromas of raspberry and strawberry fruit, with cherry and boysenberry notes.
The palate shows more raspberry and cherry flavours with a rich concentrated palate, balanced with fresh and natural acidity.
Considering the price you pay for rosé Sancerre to enjoy the lovely earthy and fruity combination of flavours you get from Pinot Noir, this kiwi interpretation is a bargain.
A brilliant match with poached salmon.
For NZ$ 28.

Marqués de Cáceres 2007 Rioja Rosé

Posted by cfoldi On 30.1.10 0 comments


A vibrant mixture of elegance and exuberance.

The aroma of crushed strawberries explodes out of the glass.
When you taste it, you may be surprised by the concentration of sweet fruit.
Spicy flavors toy with the fruit, giving this wine a lot of personality.
Crisp acidity defines everything and guarantees that the wine isn't too dull or soft.
This wine has everything in great balance right down to the snappy dry finish.

For NZ$ 19.

Jules Taylor Rosé 2009

Posted by cfoldi On 5.1.10 0 comments


Just brilliant!


This is the first Rosé to be produced under the Jules Taylor banner, and it’s a stunner. Made from 100% Merlot, fruit was sourced from Peter Briant’s vineyard at Patutahi, in Gisborne, New Zealand. Harvesting in the middle of the night meant the fruit stayed cool. The grapes were crushed and the skins remained in contact with the fruit for only 12 hours, before fermenting with selected yeast strains. The result is an absolutely delicious Rosé with deep colour, wonderful intense raspberry and strawberry flavours and a lingering fruit-filled finish.

For NZ$ 22.
