Carrick Organic Central Otago Pinot Noir Rosé 2020 $28

If you’re expecting something soft and fruity then you’ll need to pull the rope and hop off the bus because this organically crafted, crunchy-fresh Pinot Noir-based rosé is raspingly dry and laced with the kind of minerality you’d get should you opt to lick freshly crushed seashells. Edged with redcurrant, a ripple of rhubarb and pink peppercorn – it’s a funky, smoky, dry style that’ll appeal to fans of European examples.
