Pinot Rosé Wines

It would seem that every winemaker worth his or her salt is making a Rosé these days and this bone dry, savoury example is spearheading the rose renaissance. It’s a blend of Pinot Noir and Shiraz so it exhibits bright berry fruit and floral hints ...

The Bird in Hand Pinot Rose is such an accomplished pink wine that it was the official drink at the Wimbledon Tennis tournament for three consecutive years, we are sure it would have made a fine complement to the hundreds of portions of strawberri...

Light smoked salmon colour. Savoury, spicy, nutty bouquet suggesting barrel fermentation, and a far cry from shrill simple fruit. Soft, light, savoury, flavoursome and harmonious in the mouth with a clean, dry finish and appetising nature. A good ...

Light salmon-pink colour. Oak-driven bouquet. Savoury, not fruity at all. The palate is nicely light and dry, and is backed by some tannin firmness - possibly from the barrels. Another dry, firm, food-style rose, and pretty good, too.

Full salmon pink tending to 'onion skin' colour. Looks aged. Obvious oak on the nose, adding to savoury complexity and character. Light to medium weight, dry and savoury on the palate with a dry finish and very mellow aged characters throughout.

This is a terrific rose. IT's more towards the drier style of Provence but with just a hint of fruit sweetness. A little oak has been used in the fermentation of the pinot adding complexity and texture to the style. Strawberry and roses on the nos...

There s nicely captured fresh wild strawberries and raspberries on the nose here; this wine has a bright and lively appeal. The palate follows suit, with juicy strawberry fruit flavours and a neat balance _ one of the best pinot rose wines I ve seen.

Pale salmon-pink; the bouquet is perfumed and fragrant, with an ascendance of spice, rose petal and strawberry aromas; the palate is every bit as expressive, with a lifted finish. Some volatile acidity can be accepted.

Salmon-pink; despite the closure, this is emphatically not a Moscato style; it is in the opposite universe, a savoury/spicy rendition of barrel-fermented (old oak) Pinot Noir.

Vibrant pale pink; perhaps the best use of this variety in the region is rose, as this wine has an ebullient personality, full of vibrant wild strawberry, spice and a slight sea-salt tang that provides extra freshness and vitality; good fun stuff,...

Forget what you know about Rosé or what you think you know about Rosé, as the guidelines have changed. Instead of sweet pink lolly water, the wines are now more savoury, more pale and drier than a drought in the outback. The De Bortoli’s are leadi...

Fresh, crisp and refreshing pale pink rose with light spicy/cherry aromas and flavours and good level of acidity in support.

Tasting Notes - The colour is crystalline pink like a pale Argyle diamond. The nose is classic Lerida Estate Pinot Noir red fruit, but with an intriguing floral overlay. Imagine a mixed punnet of red cherries and wild raspberries in a basket of...
