Rua Pinot Rose 2025

Trust your Taste

Wild strawberry, jasmine and honeydew melon give this Central Otago rosé an inviting fragrance. A creamy texture is balanced by fresh lift, making it a rounded, easy-to-enjoy style. Try it if you like your rosé fruity, fragrant and gently smooth.

Creamy softness, little grip and generous ripe fruit favour Soft palates. PalateKey groups wines by how they feel, helping you find styles you enjoy. Your own taste comes first.

This suits you if you enjoy fragrant, creamy rosé with ripe strawberry and melon flavours.

It may not suit you if you prefer very lean, strongly savoury rosé.

How this wine feels

The middle feels creamy and rounded, with ripe fruit leading the way. Freshness keeps the finish lively and there is little drying grip. It should appeal if you enjoy rosé with soft edges and a generous fruit character.

The sliders show how strongly each characteristic comes through. Higher does not mean better.
