Risky Business Pinot Noir Rose 2019

Warren Gibson, Second Term Chairman of Judges, Twelfth Term Panellist 2020 Competition

“Very light pink colour with some salmon. Fresh fruit. Palate is less fruity than others, slightly chalky and dry. Nice length. Lovely and savoury with the wine. Nice balance of flavours. ”

Bree Boskov, First Term Panellist 2020 Competition

“Pale copper pink. Light intensity nose of strawberry and red plum. Off-dry palate with light body and crisp acidity and strawberry and grapefruit spiced fruits and hint of raspberry leaf. Grapefruit and sweet strawberry fruit pair well with the richness and fragrant spices of the dish.”

Emma Jenkins, First Term Panellist 2020 Competition

“Delicate aromas of red apple, raspberry and light spice, a little high toned, the palate is crisp with some nice berry fruit expression but lacks much concentration and is a little unfocused on the finish. Fairly neutral effect with the paired dish.”

Martin Williams, Fifth Term Panellist 2020 Competition

“Very pale blush colour. Restrained damask rose and light red-fruit aromas. Light, fine palate with medium acidity and a supple, dry finish. With food: Subtle wine flavours harmonise nicely with the tagine.”

Bryan Currie, Second Term Panellist 2020 Competition

“Light pale pink, aromatic strawberry and red berries, clean savoury palate with sweet fruit core, long dry finish, complimented by the spice and richness of the tagine.”

Susan Bastian, Sixth Term Panellist 2020 Competition

“Very pale pink blush and brilliant. Medium intensity, cut red apple and hints of flowers. Crisp acid, very light body. Dry. The dish and wine brought out some very pleasant orange zest notes.”

Mike de Garis, Third Term Panellist 2020 Competition

“Attractive pale pink. Savoury and fresh, red fruits with some creaminess. SOP, almost juicy and savoury up front with phenolics adding to overall texture, moreish. Food : adds to overall texture, whilst maintaining juiciness and moreish acidity.”
