Winemaking Escarpment Rosé 2023 is made entirely from Martinborough Pinot Noir, grown in the cool-climate soils of New Zealand’s Wairarapa region. Hand-harvested and gently pressed with minimal skin contact, the juice is cool-fermented in stainless steel to preserve fruit purity and natural vibrancy. Dry in style, this is a refined, food-friendly rosé with real finesse.
Bouquet Bright and lifted with aromas of wild strawberry, red cherry, watermelon and rose petal. A subtle thread of citrus zest and crushed herbs adds freshness.
Palate Elegant and silky, the palate delivers fresh red berry fruit, hints of blood orange and a crisp mineral edge. Balanced acidity and a dry, refreshing finish make this an effortless, stylish drop.
Food Pairing Perfect with seared tuna, roast beetroot salad, or goat cheese and herb tarts. Also delicious with grilled salmon or Mediterranean mezze platters.
Cellaring Best enjoyed now through 2025 to capture its vibrant fruit and fine structure.
Interesting Fact Escarpment’s rosé is shaped by winemaker Tim Bourne’s Burgundian sensibility—crafting this Pinot Noir rosé with the same care and attention as their celebrated reds.
