A blend of chardonnay and pinot noir that has spent at least 24 months on tirage. Orange/pink colour. Rich, mouth-filling wine with a creamy texture and flavours that suggest brioche and subtle strawberry. Quite weighty with a backbone of gentle acidity. 02 DEC 2022 Drink 2022–2024

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.
