Nowhere are Canterbury’s subregional differences more “Holy Nora!” obvious, than in the wines from Banks Peninsula. Thanks to constant sea breezes, the vines remain clean and dry and the wines extremely pure as a result. This pinot noir rose is pink-diamond-pale, scented with delicate watermelon and raspberry and on the palate there’s a pink grapefruit/blood orange intensity which makes it juicy and concentrated. Plus I love its incredible, textural length of flavour. Sip with curried shrimp salad
