Big Bunch Rosé Hawkes Bay 2014 – $$

L liked the artwork on the label – by Kiwi artist Dick Frizzell – and she bought it from Moore Wilson’s on that basis alone.

This Rosé is made by John Kemble, a Californian native who learnt his trade in Sonoma, who co-founded Kemblefield Wines in Hawkes Bay in 1992.

It has a nose of lollies, strawbs and pink roses. Strawberry flavours carry through on the palate – it’s a big, fresh, forward Rosé.

BTG 3+

I am lucky to have three of Frizzell’s artworks myself…
