Penkridge Farm Central Otago Rose 2025

Penkridge Farm Central Otago Rosé is a bright, generously flavoured Pinot Noir rosé from a boutique vineyard beneath the Pisa Range. Strawberry, watermelon and white stone fruit lead into layers of juicy summer fruit, with a gentle vanilla note adding softness and depth. Fresh acidity keeps the palate lively, while the long, balanced finish gives it enough substance to enjoy with food as well as on its own. Hand-harvested and made by Central Otago winemaker Matt Connell, this is an inviting warm-weather wine with plenty of regional character. Serve slightly chilled with grilled salmon, fresh summer salads or a relaxed afternoon in the sun.
