The story of Church Rd Gwen Rose

The Gwen wines from Church Road are named for Gwen, the wife of Tom McDonald, the winemaker who showed in the 1950s that Hawke's Bay suited red grapes. Her full name was Florence Gwendolyn Brown. The label carries a profile of her and an excerpt from a poem Tom wrote, and Church Road's chief winemaker, Chris Scott, oversaw the introduction of the range.

The rosé is a dry, Provence-style wine from Hawke's Bay, built on Merlot and pale salmon pink in the glass. It is designed to be delicate and refreshing rather than big, with red berry and floral notes, a fine texture and a crisp, dry finish. The fruit stays quiet and the acidity does the work.

That restraint makes it easy at the table. Pour it with sashimi, freshly shucked oysters, grilled fish or a chicken and fennel salad, or with vegetarian dishes built around fresh herbs and tomatoes. Keep it cold and drink it young.
