The perfect rosé transports the palate, with delicate fresh fruits and subtle structures, to a place of lingering memories.

Poppies Martinborough Rosé is made from pinot noir grapes following the traditions bequeathed by Provence in France, preferring a more delicate variety and allowing the red fruits to predominate over the more dense rich fruits.

Rosé is initially tasted with the eye - the delicate pink hue is vital to unleash the fresh and seamless curiosity that’s about to react with the palate. The wine is polished and precise with an underlying structure of crisp minerality, slightly rounded off with talcum - powder - like creamy notes, and of course succulently sweet strawberries.

If there is one key aspect to rosé, it is the balance of acid to fruit, as it should have that refreshing ‘Summer! Oh my goodness!’ vibe, in one breath and another should brighten the gloomiest of winter’s days.
