Brick Bay Rosé 2024, Matakana Waimauku, Auckland

Fragrances and flavours of red melon and fresh raspberry, there’s a mix of wet stony soil and nettles then a fresh tropical punch quality. Crisp and dry with very fine chalky textured fruit tannins, a back bone of acidity layers in energy and saline suggestion. A lovely example, ripe and fruity, textured and lengthy. As always a wine of balance and impact, best drinking from 2024 through 2027.
