The Non-Vintage Pelorus Rosé has a slightly oxidative element on the nose that marries quite nicely with the red cherry and orange rind scents. The palate is well balanced with a fine bead of acidity, not quite as harmonious as the Pelorus and perhaps a little shorter on the finish. It is a perfectly decent rosé all the same.
The new NV Pelorus Rose sparkling wine is rooted in the same base wine as the regular Pelorus, but with still Pinot Noir added, along with a slightly higher dosage (7.5 grams per liter residual sugar). It's a light, flamingo-pink hue in the glass, with nicely toasty aromas and hints of strawberry and citrus. Creamy, soft and easy to drink, there's no need to age it in the bottle.
