81/100 35

Very pale wine that barely qualifies for Rose status although it does have a very faint pink tint and is made from 100% Pinot Noir grapes. Attractively fleshy and with an ethereal texture that leads to a delicately astringent and drying finish. Unusual wine with character. A touch too austere and lacking flavor.

Tasted: Jan 2011   Closure: S'cap    Average price: NZD $28 (~USD $21)
