Rockburn Stolen Kiss is one of the most popular Rosés from Central Otago.
Winery notes (2025 Vintage)
"Rockburn’s beloved Stolen Kiss Rosé 2025 is back, blushing and ready to steal hearts (and glasses) for its nineteenth dazzling season.
Born out of a cheeky moment in 2006 when winemaker Malcolm Rees-Francis “stole” some Pinot Noir grapes destined for Rockburn’s Central Otago flagship Pinot Noir, this flirty pink creation quickly became one of New Zealand’s most adored rosés. So adored, in fact, that a single years absence in 2007 sparked such longing, it’s been a summer essential ever since.
Crafted from 100% Central Otago Pinot Noir, the 2025 vintage is bright, breezy, and utterly irresistible. Bursting with playful notes of candy-floss, strawberry, crème brûlée, and a cheeky hint of toffee apple, it’s a juicy, joyful ode to sunshine, long lunches, and precious moments."
Rated Excellent & 93/100 Cameron Douglas MS, September 2025 (2025 Vintage)
"Aromas and flavours of summer berries and mineral, lees and tropical fruits. Delicious with a satin-cream texture framed by a lively acid line and core of red berry fruits that reflect the bouquet and flow onto the palate seamlessly. Fine tannins, a fruity core, plenty of texture and roundness. Balanced, well made and ready to drink from day of purchase through January 2027."
92/100 David Walker Bell, WineFolio.co.nz, September 2025 (2025 Vintage)
"A rosé made from Central Otago Pinot Noir. Quite a bright and darker tone of pink than I’m seeing whilst judging rosé lately – a deep copper orangey-pink colour here. A bountiful perfume, with red cherry, orange peel, pomegranete, blueberry, apricot, candied peel and apple pie. Off dry, with butterscotch sweet notes. A touch of tannin adds interest and texture and dries things a little in the back palate. Spice, chamomile and almond also pop up, with the finish reflecting the nose. A character-filled expression with charm and appeal."

Nestled on the 45th parallel, Rockburn derives its name from the rugged, rock-strewn, burn-scarred landscape of Central Otago. This region, celebrated for its stunning scenery of rugged mountains and picturesque lakes, is the world’s most southerly grape-growing area. The climate here is akin to that of Burgundy, France, the renowned Pinot Noir region. Rockburn produces premium wines with intense varietal characteristics, particularly noted in their white varieties for their crisp acidity. The distinct appellations within Central Otago, like Gibbston Valley and Lowburn/Bannockburn, allow Rockburn to exploit the full potential of the region.
Rockburn's journey began in 1991 with a 3ha vineyard at Lake Hayes near Arrowtown. By 1992, a 9ha vineyard in Gibbston Valley was added. In 1999, the acquisition of a 33ha vineyard at Parkburn marked a significant expansion. Rebranded as Rockburn Central Otago in 2002, the winery continued to grow. In 2005, Malcolm Rees-Francis became the winemaker, and in 2006, the winery-cellar door complex opened in Cromwell. By 2015, a new winery complex was purchased to meet rising demand.
Rockburn is dedicated to producing superior reserve wines that reflect Central Otago’s superb regional character. Their Stolen Kiss wines, made from the best Pinot Noir grapes, evoke summertime romance. The Devil's Staircase wines, inspired by the challenging Central Otago environment, offer a unique twist. Additionally, Rockburn offers premium single vineyard, single block, or single clone wines, and magnum formats of their favourite wines.

Thank you Vino Fino Team, Thank you so much for your help with the drinks for our wedding day! We couldn’t have been happier with the service from Vino Fino supplying us with a Chiller Trailer to use on the day! You made getting the wine for our wedding easy and fun. It was low stress, and we truly appreciated being able to bring back the unopened wine. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend you to our friends and family. We’re so grateful!

I had been searching for a very specific wine and I finally found it here. Not only did they have the wine I was searching for, they had a beautiful collection of other wines. If you are a wine lover, be sure to check out Vino Fino. The staff were very knowledgeable on the types of wine and the wine makers. I will be coming back again for sure.
