Flaxmore Vineyards Moutere<br />
Rosé 20<strong>18</strong><br />
$23<br />
Simon Nash: Quite orange, looks a bit<br />
dull. A little dilute on the palate, lacks<br />
fruit grip. Sound, drying finish.<br />
Simon Nash: Very pale salmon. Shy<br />
nose, quite serious, though a trail of<br />
varnish.<br />
$21<br />
Matt Kirby: Apricot pie notes. Strong<br />
stonefruit and white peach. Palate is<br />
focused and fresh.<br />
Barry Riwai: Copper tones, red apple<br />
core, dried fruits and herbs, some partly<br />
oxidative notes.<br />
Matt Kirby: High-tone aromatic. Nice<br />
acidity, persistent finish.<br />
Barry Riwai: Palest pink, fine, dry and<br />
reasonably neutral. Good quenching<br />
drink on a hot day.<br />

$<strong>19</strong>.95<br />
Simon Nash: Light, bright, light<br />
salmon pink. Off-dry, good length.<br />
Matt Kirby: Savoury mint notes. Some<br />
cold-cut meats. Phenolic grip on the<br />
palate with nice acid.<br />
Barry Riwai: Raspberry and pink<br />
grapefruit, hints of red guava too.<br />
Pleasing freshness to the finish. Good<br />
length and concentration.<br />
Hello Sailor Swanky<br />

pith. Dry. Solid.<br />

sweetness, needs acid.<br />

still with focus and enough ?. Copper<br />
tanned.<br />
