TASTING NOTE: Hawkes Bay is one of New Zealand's oldest wine regions and classic Bordeaux varietals do exceptionally well there. Made from Merlot and Malbec, this rosé serves up ripe apple, strawberry, watermelon and citrus with a tangy, red grapefruit finish. Pair with summer salads or grilled seafood.
