(at Majestic Winter 2019 tasting, 21 Oct 2019)
Drinking Window: 2019 - 2022
A return to Majestic's range this winter along with the Pelorus Brut NV, the rosé doesn't carry a price premium, which is refreshing to see. A traditional-method Pinot Noir, this has oodles of crisp, fresh red berry fruit and fragrant rose hints, ripe strawberry and warm spices. Lingers in the mouth. Would be a treat with smoked salmon sandwiches.
