Mt Brown Waipara Pinot Noir Rose 2017

• 4 Stars - Raymond Chan

Raymond Chan says:

"Bright strawberry pink with slight peach hues, lighter on the rim showing purple tints. The nose is elegantly proportioned with good depth of fragrant cherry fruit with subtle notes of strawberries and cranberries, red florals, nuances of confectionary and thirst-quenching minerals.

"Dryish to taste and light-medium bodied, the palate has an elegant heart of cherries, strawberries and cranberry fruit along with a little red floral lift, hints of herbs and confectionary. The mouthfeel is fresh with light, lacy, mouthwatering acidity and the wine flows with good energy along a fine-textured line, leading to a fragrant finish. This is an elegant, soft fruited and textured dryish rosé with fresh acidity and an aromatic finish. Serve as an aperitif, with canapes and antipasto over the next 2 years. "
