Drinking Window: 2024 - 2025
This appealingly vivacious, fruit-forward rosé is one of the biggest sellers in New Zealand and Australia, reflecting the intention of The Ned’s winemakers to 'work with a boutique philosophy, but at scale'. Made from Pinot Noir with a tiny dash of Pinot Gris and Sauvignon Blanc, it’s all strawberries and cream, rose petals and red currants, with a thread of spicy citrus and tangy acidity. Summer in a glass.
