The story of Cloudy Bay Pelorus Rose NV

Pelorus Rosé is Cloudy Bay's sparkling rosé, made from Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grown in Marlborough vineyards on warm, stony soils close to the winery. It is made by the traditional method, with the second fermentation happening in the bottle, as in Champagne.

The bunches are whole-bunch pressed, the base wines ferment in stainless steel and go through malolactic conversion, and the wine then rests on its yeast lees in bottle for a minimum of 24 months before release. That long contact is where the brioche character comes from.

The colour is a pale salmon. Raspberries, cranberries and wild strawberries lead on the nose, with rosehip and a hint of marzipan, and the palate adds baked quince, brioche and citrus before a soft, dry finish.

Serve it at 8 to 10 degrees. It goes with fresh scallops, and it also handles dessert, alongside buttermilk panna cotta with strawberries or grilled peaches with goats' curd and honey.
