One of the best NZ Rose's we have tried from 2020. A deliciously delicate and dry rose from Central Otago leaders, Grasshopper Rock. This is a new addition to the range, and they have really nailed this style. With a plump and juicy palate of pretty reddish fruits, this lovely Rose leads to a refreshingly clean and balanced finish. Boutique quality and effortless pleasure, this new Grasshopper Rose is a rising star of our range.

Overview

Grape

Pinot Noir

Its Origins

Grasshopper Rock is one of the world’s southern most vineyards, established in 2003 and dedicated exclusively to pinot noir. The vineyard is situated on Earnscleugh Road, across the Clutha River from Alexandra. The site enjoys high sunshine hours by day and very cool temperatures by night and is sufficiently harsh and difficult to make the vines work their hardest. With extremes of heat and cold comes the risk of spring and autumn frosts, providing a demanding but rewarding environment for the production of premium pinot noir.

What The Critics Say

93/100 Bob Campbell MW

"A new label for Grasshopper Rock. Made from pinot noir grapes grown on two vineyards. Mid-pink rosé, with a gentle candy floss aroma leading to intense flavours of strawberry, raspberry and cherry fruit flavours with subtle spices on the finish. Dry but not austere. A serious rosé. 05 NOV 2020." Drink 2020 - 2023
