Waipara RoseThe Crater Rim Waipara Rose 2016
Tasted in mid 2018, the 2016 vintage (4*) is delicious now. Light pink/orange, it is soft and generous, with concentrated, peachy flavours, a hint of apricot, good complexity and plenty of personality. Michael Cooper The Crater Rim Waipara Rose 2019 | 91/100 | 4.5 Stars A generously styled rosé, the complex bouquet shows golden apple, fig, ripe strawberry and lemon peel characters with a hint of spicy complexity. The palate is ripe and beautifully weighted with supple mouthfeel and bright acidity, leading to a lingering crisp finish. Sam Kim, Wine Orbit. The Crater Rim Waipara Rose 2020 | 93/100 | 5 Stars It's gorgeously expressed on the nose showing raspberry, crunchy apple, nectarine and floral characters with a hint of spicy complexity. The palate displays juicy fruit flavours and fine texture beautifully supported by bright acidity, finishing long and attractively dry View the 2016 Tasting Notes View the 2019 Tasting Notes View the 2020 Tasting Notes |
