A wine with a satin-cream mouthfeel, a whisper of residual sweetness and core of ripe red melon and plum then some berry fruits and stony minerality. Balanced and well made with a core fruit flavours leading the mouthfeel framed by acidity and super fine tannins with a lite lees finish. Ready to drink from 2025 through end of summer 2027.

Gentle yet generous amount of fruit with good ripeness balance, a touch of sweetness adds flesh to a silky palate, lending a dry, satisfying finish.

It's finely scented on the nose, with notes of watermelon, sweet strawberry, cream soda, and white floral aromas, leading to a lively palate that's both juicy and silky. Beautifully styled with loads of tasty flavours, offering excellent drinking. At its best: now to 2027.

Merlot in this medium dry rosé while Cabernet Franc’s perfumed red floral aromas are also held in check. The two grape varieties were both entirely hand-picked and make up equal proportions of this wine, each bringing a noticeably drier taste to this wine than many fruitier rosés. This is lush, lively and finishes on a dry note.

Crossing Point is a label from Takapoto Estate, based on the banks of Lake Karapiro, in Waikato. Made from 50% Merlot and 50% Cabernet Franc – a wine that featured in second place the last time we did a WineFolio Top 10 Tasting of rosé. A very, barely-pink, pale salmon colour in the glass. Perfumed with rosehip, raspberry, cherry, pink peppercorn, red liquorice and pink grapefruit; with a distinctive lilt of green herbs that I have seen in this wine before. Off-dry to taste, with lashings of creamily ripe fruits. The line of bright acidity adds energy and direction, moving into a rounded finish of good length.
