Brick Bay Rosé 2023, Matakana, Auckland

Winemaker James Rowan is a true craftsman, he understands Rosé. The 2023 expression, from Bordeaux varieties, has a completely captivating bouquet of bing-cherry and fine lees, peach tea, red apple skin and chalky clay scents. A classic rose petal scent adds to the lift and delicacy to the style. Delicious on the palate, dry, taut, youthful and refreshing with a light saline quality. Flavours reflect the bouquet accentuated by acidity and gently warming alcohol. Best enjoyed from day of purchase through end of summer 2026. That said, I have cellared a few examples of these wines and they age well also.
