"Aromas of strawberry and red apple, papaya and apricot lead to a palate of the same with a vibrant youthful texture from acidity and contrasting satin fruit mouthfeel. Well made, new and fresh, a wine for summer 2023 and 2024." Cam Douglas
93 Points - Candice Chow, Raymond Chan Wine Reviews
"Bright, pale blush pink, even colour throughout. The nose is intense and vibrant with aromas of strawberry, raspberry, rose petals and lily. Medium-bodied, dry to taste, aromas of raspberry and strawberry melded with a hint of cream, rose petals and lily. Mouth-watering acidity provides good energy and drives to a crisp, fragranced finish. This dry Pinot Noir Rosé is crisp and generous, packed with red fruit on a creamy, delicate palate." Candice Chow
18.5/20 - Joelle Thomson
"For a young wine, 2022 is the best Whitehaven Rosé ever made, and it pushes the boundaries of pale colour and dryness, providing a surprising depth of flavour in such a light-hued pink wine. Winemaker Peter Jackson (not the film guy) gave the grapes minimum skin contact, which is where the light colour comes from, but he has somehow coaxed maximum flavour from the grapes, all Pinot Noir, as in most New Zealand pink wines. Lively, lovely and dangerously drinkable." Joelle Thomson
5 Stars - Sam Kim, Wine Orbit
"Super pale in colour with fabulous aromatics, the wine shows raspberry, red apple, nectarine and white floral nuances on the nose, leading to a finely focused palate offering pristine fruit flavours with bright acidity, finishing lingering with charming flavours." Sam Kim

Winery note:
"Delicately lifted and attractive. The nose is packed with aromas of watermelon, red cherries, raspberries, and wildflowers.
Palate: A medium-light bodied wine. The palate is fresh and pure and delivers fruit flavours of red cherries, strawberries, watermelon and subtle hint of pepper and herbs. This bone-dry wine has a creamy mouthfeel balanced with crisp textured acidity. Food Match: Serve as an aperitif or match with sashimi or Thai beef salad."
