Jasper Ridge Rosé 2025: A Stellar New Edition
Jasper Ridge Estate has just released their 2025 Rosé, the eagerly awaited follow‑up to their sensational 2024 vintage. Crafted once again from hand‑picked Syrah grapes grown on Waiheke Island, this new bottling promises to uphold and elevate the legacy set by its predecessor.
Tasting Notes: Vibrant & Fresh
The 2025 Rosé pours with a “pale blush of delicate lavender‑pink” and offers an aromatic bouquet of ripe summer berries crushed strawberries, raspberries and just a hint of juicy red cherries. On the palate, it delivers a refreshingly crisp profile of juicy berry flavours with that familiar clean acidity, all wrapped up in a graceful, dry finish.
Hot on the Heels: 2024’s Number One Rosé in NZ
The 2025 vintage follows hot on the heels of the 2024 Rosé, which earned the prestigious title of New Zealand’s #1 Rosé from The Real Review in April 2025, scoring an impressive 95 points 5-star Gold and celebrated by critic Bob Campbell MW. Campbell praised it as:
“Reasonably pale rosé with a delicate floral scented aroma. Off‑dry with a pleasantly crisp finish that lingers nicely. This is everything that a good rosé should be but seldom is.”
That accolade firmly placed Jasper Ridge at the top of the Kiwi Rosé scene and raised expectations sky-high for the new vintage.
2025 vs 2024: What to Expect
Colour and Aroma
Both vintages share the same gentle lavender-pink hue and red-berry aromatics. The 2025 displays a similar nose of strawberry, raspberry, and soft cherry notes.
Palate and Feel
The 2024 brought an off-dry style with lingering crispness, the 2025 is no different and is still bursting with juicy summer berries and that signature clean finish. Expect greater tension and delicacy that is ideal for early-season enjoyment.
Alcohol and Style
The 2025 clocks in at a modest 12.4% alcohol close to 2024’s 12.5%, reinforcing its easy-drinking refreshment.
Why the Excitement?
Proven pedigree: Following a top-rated 2024, the 2025 inherits high expectations and Jasper Ridge's signature precision.
Boutique terroir: Crafted in small batches from Waiheke Syrah, it's hand-harvested and carefully vinified to preserve purity.
Style on point: The combination of pale blush, red-berry perfume, and crisp finish suits evenings on the deck or pairing with seafood, salads, or light grills.
