ACCOLADES

 
 

Here are recent awards and accolades received by Q WINE.

 

Q Wine Rosé 2023, Waitaki Valley Cameron Douglas Master Sommelier
As always this wine is a reflection of the quality of fruit at harvest and winemaking skill, a bouquet of ripe red cherry, rose water and sweet cranberry. There’s a pinosity at the core with scents of raspberry and a lofted floral quality. Satin smooth as the wine touches the palate with flavours of rose and red fruits that reflect the bouquet. Super fine tannins and a chalky textured acid line layer in mouthfeel and quality. Best drinking from 2024 through end of summer 2026”.
