A blend of Grenache, Syrah, Cinsault, Viognier and Rolle brings fresh strawberry, raspberry and cherry together with white peach, apricot blossom, citrus and a lightly saline finish. Crisp acidity keeps the fruit bright, while a smooth, gently rounded texture gives it enough presence for the table. It is an easy choice for sunny lunches, relaxed gatherings or a well-chilled glass after work, and particularly good with grilled prawns, ceviche, Mediterranean salads or a simple charcuterie spread.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat the winery says:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe 2024 blend is 50% Grenache, 20% Syrah, 20% Cinsault, 5% Viognier and 5% Rolle. The grapes were harvested during the cool early-morning hours, directly pressed at low pressure, then fermented in stainless steel at 15°C with careful protection from oxygen. Pale salmon in colour, it offers strawberry, raspberry, cherry and redcurrant flavours alongside pink grapefruit, white blossom and apricot. Bright acidity leads into a clean finish with citrus zest, minerality and a subtle Mediterranean salinity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat the experts say:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSam Kim, Wine Orbit, 93 Points and 5 Stars (2024)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e“It's delicately lifted on the nose, showing wild strawberry, crunchy apple, and subtle savoury notes.”\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePeter Moser, Ulrich Sautter, Benjamin Herzog and Dominik Vombach, Falstaff, 91 Points (2024)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e“Medium-bodied on the palate, rather full-bodied, beautiful balance of texture and ripe acidity.”\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCameron Douglas MS, 89 Points and Recommended (2024)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e“A lighter-weighted expression with a silky texture and contrasting acid line.”\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCuisine, 4 Stars (2024)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e“Light but fresh and dry with a lifted refreshing finish.”\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"EuroVintage","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53182032642415,"sku":"100750","price":161.94,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0968\/2252\/6319\/files\/SaintXRose2024_7e85beb0-62d3-4a33-9cef-1ec4469ffd60.jpg?v=1783649635","url":"https:\/\/stolencellar.co.nz\/products\/saint-x-rose","provider":"Stolen Cellar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
