The wine is made in a Provence-inspired style, with select parcels chosen for their balance between flavour development and freshness. Harvest timing is focused on capturing ripe fruit while retaining the bright acidity required for a crisp and refreshing rosé. Gentle pressing helps produce its delicate pale-coral colour while limiting extraction and maintaining finesse. The resulting wine combines ripe fruit character with the savoury, mineral qualities that give the style its distinctive dry profile.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2026 opens with layered aromas of candied melon, strawberries and cream and subtle spice, complemented by a savoury mineral character. On the palate it is bone-dry, yet a creamy texture gives the wine enough breadth to balance its fresh acidity and restrained fruit. Merlot provides the core of soft red-fruit character, while Tempranillo contributes additional savoury and spicy complexity. Wet-stone salinity gives the palate definition and reinforces the wine’s clean, mineral-driven style. The finish is refreshing, mouth-watering and highly drinkable, making it well suited to seafood, light starters, salads and warm-weather dining.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNOSE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e– Fragrant, delicate and savoury\u003cbr\u003eCandied melon, strawberries and cream and subtle spice are layered with a characteristic savoury mineral quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePALATE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e– Bone-dry, creamy and mineral\u003cbr\u003eFresh red and melon fruit is balanced by lively acidity, a gently creamy texture and distinct wet-stone salinity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFINISH\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e– Fresh, saline and moreish\u003cbr\u003eA clean, mouth-watering finish carries lingering mineral notes, subtle fruit and savoury freshness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFiner Details:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBrand - Craggy Range\u003cbr\u003eStyle - Rosé\u003cbr\u003eVarietal - Other Rosé\u003cbr\u003eGrape Blend \/ Cépage - 85% Merlot, 15% Tempranillo\u003cbr\u003eCountry - New Zealand\u003cbr\u003eRegion - Hawke's Bay\u003cbr\u003eVintage - 2026\u003cbr\u003eABV - 13%\u003cbr\u003eSize - 750ml\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Craggy Range","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44585707110487,"sku":"CRAG-ROSE-26","price":29.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0043\/9258\/3217\/files\/8686be3f-ef0c-4697-a8ea-ffbd13d73fe6.webp?v=1793303430","url":"https:\/\/kentstreetcellars.com.au\/products\/craggy-range-hawkes-bay-rose-2026","provider":"Kent Street Cellars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
