Responsible Hedonist Gift of Gab Hawke’s Bay Rosé 2024 $28 
Crafted from Bridge Pa-grown Syrah, this rosé by Chicago-born-now-Waiheke-winemaker Diana Hawkins, has boldness, juiciness, spiciness, florality (love that word) and zesty textures. Which is exactly what you’d expect from a Syrah-based rosé. There’s a solid ribbon of salinity wrapping around cherry, fresh citrus and soft spice characters and it has a gently juicy mouthfeel. Chill it down and bring on the sunshine.
