The Yering Station ED Pinot Rosé is a wine that I have been meaning to try for some time, this week it was finally available at my local bottle shop. The “ED” stands for extra dry, which is basically a requirement for any Rose that wishes to pass my lips.
There was some conjecture as to wether this wine was “red salmon” or “clam meat” in colour, either way it is a light and translucent red/pink. Unsurprisingly this rose smells like a restrained Pinot Noir with strawberry and cherry aromas. Although the wine is light in body, the delicate red fruit flavours hang around for an extremely long time, finishing dry with a slightly savoury note and a hint of soft tannin.
An excellent match for mildly spiced Singapore Noodles, I can see many delicate asian or chicken based dishes calling out for support from this wine.

Would I buy this wine again?
Generally I prefer a fuller flavoured dry Rose, however for the right food, yes.
Origionally picked up two of these after a tasting at our local bottle shop. I was not so impressed with the first bottle a few months back, however the second one made a good showing this evening.
