Along the Marlborough shore, holding fast to the rocks at low tide, is the seaweed Durvillea, named after the captain of the Astrolabe, Dumont d'Urville. This Rosé is a bone-dry, crisp style using equal parts of Pinot Noir and Pinot Gris from across the Marlborough region. In the glass a pretty, aromatic nose with notes of pomegranate molasses, red delicious toffee apple, strawberry conserve and crab apple jelly. The palate has a round mouthfeel, with a smooth and ethereal texture. This wine is bone dry with delicately balanced acidity. Perfect as an aperitif.
