Rosé is a winner ...

Today was a big day for the 36 bottles team. The results of the Cuisine Rosé tasting for the January 2014 issue (issue 162) where published today.

And we are extremely happy to announce that the 36 bottles Pinot Rosé 2013 has achieved 2nd place in the tasting, receiving a 5 star rating and a 'Best Buy' accolade.

To say we are surprised and elated is a bit of an understatement! A great coup for us, especially as this is our first Rosé; and its all because Jane insisted that I must make one for her THIS year, not next year or the year after.

Cheers, here's to you Jane.

The tasting note in Cuisine reads -

"Having twisted husband Douglas Brett's arm to produce a Rosé, Mt Aspiring Wines co-owner Jane Young was delighted with the result of this debut wine.  This delightful, off dry, cherry infused drop by Wanaka's Sarah-Kate Dineen is intense and lively with the acids balancing the sweetness beautifully.  Try it as an aperitif with salmon dotted bellini."

Also a big shout out to Sarah-Kate Dineen, truely a Queen of Rosé, thank you for your efforts on this cracking summer wine wine with us.
