Paddy Borthwick Pinot Rosé 2026, Wairarapa

A delicious wine, bright, fresh, salivating and youthful with a power surge of cherries and rose apple, chilled red zinger tea, a whisper of ginger and pear. Dry and fruity with a satin cream mouthfeel, contrasting acid line and fine fruit tannins. Balanced and well made, a wine that has summer drinking written all over the nose and palate. Okay to chill well for the season with best drinking from late 2026 through 2029.
