Cloudy Bay Pelorus Rose, Marlborough

Brioche and cherry, baked goods and red melon, a deep and fine lees autolysis, a mineral earthy quality and overall developing complexity. Fine, fresh, crisp, leesy and abundant in elegant flavour and finesse. Soft, fresh and silky textured mousse, fine light red fruit core with minerality and autolysis power. Balanced with a perfect light weight appeal, complex and long. A delicious wine ready for drinking from purchase and through 2026+.

Pelorus Rosé is the benchmark for New Zealand sparkling rosé wine, drawing on over 30 years of heritage from the original Pelorus. Crafted using the time-honoured méthode traditionnelle, Pelorus Rosé has reinforced the reputation of the original Pelorus with its elegance, finesse and complexity.

Pelorus Rosé is smooth and elegant, with a pale salmon hue and brambly aromas. The nose is laden with raspberries, cranberries and wild strawberries, while red florals, rosehip and marzipan hover at the fringe. Baked quince, cranberry and brioche meet citrus notes on the palate, while its fine structure persists all the way to a soft, dry finish.
