Natalie's Score: 90/100

Pretty aromas of field strawberries tickle the nose and senses on this vibrant New Zealand rosé. It's dry and delicate yet refreshing. It finishes with a touch of spice and sun-dappled berries. Pair with planked salmon. Serve chilled.

Rosé food pairings: grilled chicken breast, shellfish, charcuterie plate.

Reviews and Ratings

Matt Steeves - Certified Sommelier rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

Award winning Villa Maria's Private Bin Rose is so popular its earned the title as New Zealand's number one selling Rose. The nose shows sweet floral blossom, strawberry shortcake, cran-cherry, summer herbs, and freshly picked strawberry notes. Made from Hawkes Bay Merlot, with a splash of Pinot Gris, this wine is balanced, fresh, and remarkably creamy and delicious. It's Summer in a glass. There's no wonder why it's so popular. Enjoy this fun and fruity wine throughout the year and make sure you save a case for patio season. Tasted May 2018. 90 points. Matt Steeves - www.quercusvino.ca
Villa Maria was founded in 1961 by Sir George Fistonich, who received a knighthood for services to the wine industry. This vibrant pink rosé from Hawkes Bay, North Island, New Zealand is fresh, ripe cherries on the nose with citrus and light herb flavours on the palate - a perfect rosé for a lunch charcuterie platter. - Community Wine Reviews
