Kinross Luminaire Central Otago Rosé 2025

Share

Pale candy floss pink with floral notes of rose and fennel seed, joined by dried raspberry, wild strawberry, and crunchy white peach. The palate is crisp with lovely fruit weight, red berries and watermelon driving through. A creamy lemon-citrus line keeps the palate light and linear. Silky in texture, yet chalky and mineral with a warming glow on the finish. This one’s long and confident – Luminaire by name and Luminous in style.
