Novum Rosé 2022, crafted by Will and Rachel Hoare in Marlborough’s Central Wairau Plains, is a quietly elegant expression of Pinot Noir. Delicate rose petal, wild strawberry and white peach aromas lead into a bone-dry, textural palate laced with fine acidity and a whisper of saline minerality. There’s subtle grip and depth beneath its pale pink hue, offering a savoury, food-worthy edge. Hand-picked and wild-fermented with minimal intervention, it’s a rosé of precision and purpose. A graceful, understated wine built for thoughtful sipping or summer fare. A refined Marlborough pink with real poise and intent – no score needed to be impressed.
