Paritua Stone Paddock Rose 2022

A Merlot dominant blend with a small portion of Cabernet Franc.

Candice Chow, Raymond Chan Wine Reviews writes "Bright, even, blush pink with depth and a tinge of salmon. This has a richness of flowers on the bouquet, melded with strawberries, red berries and cream. Medium-bodied, dry-ish to taste, aromas of red berries, strawberries interweave melon, rose and cream. Creamy, smooth mouthfeel carried by balanced acidity and a subtle phenolic added texture. This juicy, easy-drinking rose possesses a red fruit core and rose petals on a creamy palate. Serve as an aperitif or match with charcuteries over the next 2 years."

Sam Kim, Wine Orbit writes "Restrained and elegant, the wine shows ripe strawberry, apricot, dried herb and subtle spice notes, followed by a beautifully rounded palate offering delicate fruit intensity, well supported by fine texture and juicy acidity."
