The 2025 Novum Rosé is a dry, single-vineyard Pinot Noir Rosé from Marlborough, New Zealand, crafted from the renowned Quarters Vineyard. Produced with the same attention to detail as the estate's Pinot Noir, this rosé offers a refined expression of place, opening with delicate aromas of wild strawberry, raspberry and white peach, complemented by subtle spice and floral notes.
On the palate, it is light to medium-bodied with vibrant natural acidity and a beautifully textured mouthfeel. Flavours of fresh red berries, white stone fruit and citrus are balanced by a crisp, bone-dry finish with impressive freshness and lingering mineral detail. Careful vineyard management and cool fermentation preserve the wine's purity, making it both elegant and highly food-friendly.
Ben's Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an outstanding choice for customers who enjoy sophisticated, dry rosé with freshness, texture and vineyard character. Pair it with grilled prawns, fresh oysters, seared salmon, Mediterranean salads or charcuterie. Best served well chilled and enjoyed while young over the next 2–4 years.
