Serieux Rosé 2023, Hawkes Bay

Aromas of sweet red cherry then yellow plum, suggestions of strawberry and pomegranate and fragrant roses. Lifted, bright, fresh and youthful. On the palate a youthful touch with a light chalky acid-line texture then core of red berry flavours that reflect the bouquet. There’s a light wet stone mineral quality and pure fruit coating. Well made, needs a little time to settle with best drinking from January 1st 2024 through end of summer 2026.
