Waimea Estates Pinot Noir Rosé 2021, Nelson

Waimea’s vineyards are less than 1km from the Tasman sea on the sundrenched Waimea Plains of Nelson. It’s one of New Zealand’s lesser-known wine regions and widely credited as New Zealand’s sunniest spot with an average of over 2400 hours of sunshine annually. This means perfectly-ripe grapes with plenty of freshness. 100% sustainably-farmed Pinot Noir grapes are gently pressed to release the premium free-run juice and spend only a short while on their skins. The result? A delicate platinum pink colour and vibrant fruit flavours. Expect ripe flavours of raspberry, strawberries, cherry and notes of jasmine. Perfect as an apéritif, with nibbles and, of course, strawberries and cream.
