Pinot Noir Rosé

Pinot Noir Rosé is a dry, elegant pink wine made from Pinot Noir, with fresh strawberry, raspberry and red cherry alongside citrus, flowers and gentle spice. Crisp but full of flavour, it’s brilliant with salmon, prawns, sushi, roast chicken, charcuterie, salads and mushroom dishes.

Taste:

Fresh red fruit with Pinot Noir's elegant side turned pink.

Pinot Noir Rosé is typically dry and light to medium-bodied, with refreshing acidity and flavours of strawberry, raspberry, red cherry and cranberry. You may also find grapefruit, white peach, delicate flowers and subtle spice.

Because Pinot Noir has relatively thin skins, it can produce beautifully pale rosé without sacrificing flavour.

Cooler-climate examples tend to be particularly crisp and delicate, while wines from warmer regions may bring riper strawberry and cherry flavours with a little more body.

Elegant, fruity and very easy to get along with. Pinot Noir understood the outfit change.

Food Pairings:

Pinot Noir Rosé is particularly good with seafood, poultry and lighter savoury dishes.

Salmon is a brilliant match, whether grilled, roasted, smoked or served as sushi. It also works beautifully with prawns, crab, tuna, grilled fish and seafood salads.

For Asian food, try sushi, sashimi or lighter noodle dishes.

For meat, pair it with roast chicken, grilled chicken, glazed ham or charcuterie, including prosciutto and salami.

Salads are another easy win, particularly chicken salad, goat's cheese salad, tomato and mozzarella salad or fresh Mediterranean salads.

Pinot Noir's natural affinity with earthy flavours carries over nicely too, making mushroom pasta, mushroom tart and mushroom risotto great matches.

For cheese, try Brie, Camembert, goat's cheese or Gruyère.

More About Pinot Noir Rosé:

Pinot Noir Rosé isn't tied to one particular region. It's made anywhere Pinot Noir is grown, including France, Germany, England, New Zealand and the United States.

To create rosé, Pinot Noir grapes are crushed and the juice is allowed a relatively short period of contact with the dark skins. Once the desired colour and flavour have been extracted, the juice is separated and fermented more like a white wine.

Pinot Noir's naturally thin skins and bright acidity make it particularly well suited to elegant, fresh styles of rosé.

Red wine. Rosé. Champagne.

Pinot Noir really looked at having one job and said absolutely not.
