Kahurangi Estate Nelson Rose 2023
The 2023 Kahurangi Rose has an abundant fruity nose with tropical notes and a hint of ripe peaches. The palate is dry and full with lush flavours of apricot and a touch of rock melon.

More details for this wine
| Variety | Rosé |
|---|---|
| Vintage | 2023 |
| Size | 750ml |
| Alcohol | 12.5% |
| Residual Sugar | 4.0g/L |
| Acid | 7.8g/L |
| Cellar | Drink young and fresh through to 2025 |

| Notes | Harvest 2023 was also a challenging season to start with. Variable fruit set and early disease pressure made it challenging work for our team out in the vineyards. It settled down with a dry, hot January, then February kicked in and was wet from start to end. March came along and the weather behaved until harvest time. We ended up with good quality fruit across all varieties and about average sized volumes. All in all, a very good year and some lovely wines to follow. |

Professional Reviews & Awards
5 Stars
By Sam Kim, Wine Orbit 2023Bright and elegantly fragrant, the wine shows sweet cranberry, apricot and crunchy apple characters, leading to a delightfully refreshing palate that's juicy and lingering. Beautifully composed and expressed, offering excellent drinking. At its best: now to 2025.
Premium
By Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier 2023Plush, ripe and red fruit aromas of raspberry and dark strawberry, some red apple skin and a touch of lifted spice. Young, fresh and vibrant. On the palate, equally vibrant and fresh with plenty of acidity and fruit spice. Young and vibrant and ideally suited to summer 2024 imbibing. Well made and ready to drink from day of purchase through end of summer 2026.
