Winery notes (2025 Vintage)
"“The Jules Rosé” is handcrafted for anyone who dares to be different and is all about celebrating your own individual sense of style – But without taking yourself too seriously of course.
Merlot grapes for this wine come from silt/clay loam soils in the beautiful Patutahi Valley in Gisborne – the first wine region in New Zealand to see the rising sun each morning – and give beautiful ripe berry characters and mid palate weight to the wine. For the past few vintages, Jules has blended these grapes with a parcel of Pinot Noir grown in the Brancott Valley in Marlborough, which enhances the aromas and gives a pleasing freshness to the finish.
Inviting aromas burst with fresh strawberries, raspberries and cherries with a hint of peach and a juicy kick of pink grapefruit. This dry Rosé packs a punch of peach and berry flavours. The wine is beautifully balanced, with a touch of textural softness and a hint of savouriness on the mid-palate giving way to a lovely, long phenolic finish. This wine is perfect for sunny afternoons and relaxed gatherings. Serve very chilled."
Rated Excellent & 93/100 Cameron Douglas MS, March 2026 (2025 Vintage)
"Another delicious wine from the JT portfolio with flavours of yellow and red peach, citrus peel and a tropical fruit tea ideas. Crisp and dry, salivating and textured with very fine fruit tannins, lees and a backbone of acidity. Balanced and ready to drink from day of purchase through 2028."

93/100 Stephen Wong MW, The Real Review (2024 Vintage)
"Light peach colour. Spicy, savoury nose with complex layers of earth and smoke over dark berry and plum fruit. Deep-pitched flavours with noticeable weight build on the firmly structured, off-dry and smoky palate. Long, evolving finish. Serious, brooding rosé with just enough acidity and lift to lend refreshment, it will develop in the near-term to unveil more complexity and breadth."
5 Stars & 93/100 Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, April 2025 (2024 Vintage)
"Charming and immediately appealing with sweet strawberry, lemon, apricot, and floral aromas. The palate offers juicy fruit flavours with a rounded mouthfeel and fine acidity, finishing lingering and refreshing. At its best: now to 2027."
