"Bursting with summer fruits....delicious juicy acidity and dry finish" (Jules)

Jules is Marlborough through and through, in fact she has a mild obsession with Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc! But when it comes to her gorgeous Rosé she turns to some of her Gizzy vineyards for the fruit. She sources premium Merlot grapes to help produce what she calls a style that’s “bursting with summer fruits….delicious juicy acidity and dry finish.”

Jules has been making Rosé since 2009 which is way before everyone else jumped on to the Rosé band wagon! But for 2020 she felt like it was time for a makeover (and what a year it had been – we couldn’t agree more!). Say hello to The Jules Rose! She’s crafted a slightly drier style that’s more pale in colour and given the label a tidy little tickle up too.

This is the latest 2023 vintage and it’s as gorgeous as ever. Scoring 93/100 and a Top Value Award with Master of Wine Bob Campbell, Bob said “Medium-tinted rosé with floral/rose petal, ginger, apricot and pear/tree fruit flavours. Bright, fresh, tangy wine with moderately intense flavours. Serve well-chilled to bring out the best in this appealing wine.”

The Jules Rose is essential summer sipping from a benchmark producer. It just makes you wish summer never ended!
