Here’s a hill we’re willing to die on: rosé isn’t a seasonal drink! Don’t feel like you need to put it away for the cooler months - it’s extremely versatile. This is vibrant and juicy rosé from the southern end of New Zealand’s north island. The pinot noir used for the Matahiwi Estate Rosé comes from a high ridge line with free draining, stony soil. The resulting wine is grounded in pure fruit expression. Tart strawberries, bright raspberries, and ripe melon aplenty. Most impressive is the wines ability to marry rich creaminess with lively fruit - indicative of the kind of quality we’ve come to expect from Matahiwi.
