We have sourced the most amazing deal on one of New Zealand's top-rated rosés. From Marisco (makers of The Ned and Leefield Station), is their top rosé, The King's Desire. 

This is a complex Provence-style rosé which is dry and pale pink in colour. It features a portion of barrel fermentation (in old seasoned French oak) to bring texture and mouthfeel and is generous yet crisp and refreshing at the same time.

Tasting Notes:
Made with a nod to Provence, this lighter style rosé demonstrates aromas of crab-apple with hints of mango and orange blossom. The generous palate is textured with vibrant citrus notes, which leads into a refreshingly crisp acid finish.

Winemaking:
100% Pinot Noir, which was harvested by a combination of hand and machine when the fruit was at its optimal ripeness. The hand harvested fruit was whole bunch pressed and racked into old French oak for fermentation. The machine harvested portion was pressed to stainless steel tanks to retain freshness and fruit purity. Regular lees stirring of the barrel portions helped to build opulence and mouthfeel.

Professional Reviews:

94 Points - Bob Campbell, Master of Wine

"Delicious rosé with floral/red rose and summer berry flavours. A whisker of sweetness is perfectly balanced by fruity acidity which helps promote a crisp, dry finish. Charming wine with intensity and appealing purity."

90 Points - Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier

"Crisp, dry, bright, fruity, salivating and new. A wine for summer with a thirst quenching palate of light red fruit and citrus flavours, and a touch of fruity spice. Well made, fruity with tropical nuances and plenty of new freshly picked red fruits, fresh and ready to drink.""
