Triplebank Pinot Noir Rose 2025

Triplebank Pinot Noir Rose opens with red fruit and creamy almond on the nose, the kind of scent that calls to mind strawberry shortcake fresh out of the oven. The palate turns playful from there - raspberry and pomegranate sorbet, cut through by crisp, refreshing acidity that keeps it from ever feeling sweet. It finishes bone dry, with a clean aftertaste that lingers just long enough. Made from Awatere Valley Pinot Noir grapes grown on the same steep, sun-drenched terraces as the rest of the Triplebank range, it took out the Trophy for Champion Rosé and a Gold medal at the National Wine Awards of Aotearoa New Zealand 2025. Serve it well chilled with seafood, roast chicken, or a simple salad.
