Tuesday, October 11, 2016 - Ohau Gravels Rose' (Woven Stone label) 2014
Bought £7.50 promo price Sustainable Wines UK October 2016
Brilliant. Everything I want in a Rose': finishes dry after shed loads of fruit, beyond pink, solid medium-bodied, v good with food as well as natural quaffer, being well chilled doesn't dull its flavour. Fun.
C....beyond Pink, no insipid south of France/Provence AC rubbish here.
N....heaps of charming strawberry, plums, raspberry.
T....tons of fruit but balanced with cleansing acidity. Perfect picnic wine - if you can keep it chilled. I'm amazed it's still this fresh and exciting at 2 yrs old. Best Rose' I've had in ages, even a little better than the excellent Villa Maria's Private Bin Hawke's Bay 2015 Rose (£8.00 Tesco's).
VFM? Bargain at £7.50 promo price. Worth twice that. Kicks over-priced tasteless Provence AC Rose into the ditch.
