Jules Taylor OTQ Marlborough Pinot Noir Rosé 2021 $32
Oh lordy will you just soak in how money this wine looks in its floral-etched bottle and its bright, perfectly pink, morganite hue as it pours into the glass. Grown in Jules’ Anderson Vineyard in the Upper Brancott area of Marlborough’s Southern Valley’s, the aroma spectrum swells to the cherry, berry and creaming soda side of the street and it’s showing creaming soda intensity, layers of raspberry and wild strawberry swagger. Originally made as a secret project (hence the name On The Quiet), these days the OTQ’s are in hot demand. Vibrant, vivacious and screaming vavoom – this new rosé is a superb example.
