Brightwater Gravels Rosé 2020

Reviews and Accolades

Cameron Douglas MS: 92/100 (Premium: A wine with special qualities). Very floral bouquet with white and red roses then aromas of red melon and raspberry some red apple skin and cherry. Plush, ripe, fruity, fresh, crunchy and dry on the finish. A lovely example with a light minerality adding texture and length. Best drinking from today and through 2022.

Bob Campbell, MW: 91/100 & Top Value Wine. Fresh, bright and youthful aromas of red apples and cherries, a layer of flowers and soft mineral core. On the palate - vibrant and fresh with mouth-watering acidity then flavours that reflect the nose, a youthful tart fruit note adds length and vibrato. Best drinking from today and through 2022.

New Zealand International Wine Show 2020: Silver.

Sam Kim, Wine Orbit: 91/100. Fresh and vibrant, the beautifully lifted bouquet shows nectarine, fig and floral aromas with a hint of sweet strawberry. It's juicy and refreshing on the palate, delivering fine texture and bright acidity, making it immediately appealing.

Tasting note

This wine is fashionably pale pink, and though delicate in appearance has a prominent nose of watermelon, raspberries, red apples, roses and cherries, wonderful soft fruity texture, a fullness of palate and a crisp finish.
