The Ned Rose
A classic bouquet of strawberries and cream, precede a palate full of summer fruits and crunchy red apple. The palate exudes plush and refreshed notes of tangy berry flavours framed with crisp acid edges and fine fruit tannin leading to a lingering finish. Pair with a niçoise salad. The combination of fresh and rustic flavours of tuna, egg, zesty tomatoes and olives compliment the wine’s crunchy fruit, vibrancy and smooth texture. The Greek’s first made Rose 26 centuries ago when they settled in Provence, the oldest wine growing region in France. The light colour of Rose is a result of the short amount of time the grape and skins stay in contact after being crushed. Today, hundreds of years later, Rose continues to gain popularity, and regions like Marlborough are now producing outstanding medal winning Roses like this one!
