The story of Babydoll Rose

Babydoll Rosé is made by Yealands Estate from Pinot Gris and Pinot Noir, with fruit from the Awatere Valley in Marlborough and from Central Otago. The two grapes are handled as separate parcels, each fermented with a range of yeasts over a long fermentation in stainless steel tanks. The parcels are then blended for added complexity and for the pink colour.

The result is a pale, light peach rosé. The nose is red apple and cherry with watermelon, fresh strawberries and honeydew, and the palate is juicy and rich, with flavours of strawberry shortcake kept in focus by well balanced acidity. It finishes on the dry side, and it is built to be drunk young rather than cellared. The bottle is sealed with a screwcap.

The winery's own food suggestions are creamy goat's cheese, a light summer salad and shellfish, and all three suit the fruit. Oysters or grilled prawns are an easy way to go, or put it beside a plate of soft cheese, ripe tomatoes and fresh bread.
