Drink it now or cellar for up to 5 years. No need to decant. Located on the Golden Mile of New Zealand's Marlborough wine region, Whitehaven Wine Company was founded by married couple Sue and Greg White in 1994. The predominantly white wine company sources its grapes from several vineyards located throughout the region from Wairau Valley up to Kekerengu. Following Greg's passing in 2007, a line was established in his name that includes a Sauvignon Blanc and a Pinot Noir. This delicious rosé is produced with Pinot Noir grapes from the vineyards of Pauls Road (located in the Rapaura area) and Little Alfred (located in the Southern Valleys). The harvest is mechanical and the fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature to preserve the fruity character and freshness of the grapes. Whitehaven Pinot Noir Rosé is a brilliant-looking wine with a pale blush pink color. The nose reveals a fresh and lively aromatic profile with notes of small fresh red fruits and wildflowers. On the palate, it is lean, refreshing, and delicate. The acidity is lively. The finish is long and recalls floral notes, and aromas of watermelon. Served slightly chilled, it is the ideal wine for a summer aperitif on its own or paired with vegetarian dishes of Mediterranean cuisine, fresh salads or smoked rainbow trout.
