Kim Crawford rose 2011

Kim Crawford First Season Rose 2011 has no indication of area of origin on its label nor is there any indication of the  variety of the grapes that it is made from.It is labelled as New Zealand wine and it is possible the grapes in the blend have come from a number of vineyards.  The wine is none the worse for the circumstances of its birth, and at its probable price level sold in a Supermarket such detail is academic.  Most importantly it is  fresh, well balanced, and brightly coloured rose', with a dryish aftertaste and and good length of palate. It is  wine for a leisurely weekend lunch, and proved  particularly suited to fresh pasta in tomato sauce, with green salad.Tim Harris 9 April 2012
