If you’ve ever done a wine tasting before (if you haven’t, organise one ASAP) then you’ll be very familiar with the aromas you’re meant to pick up when smelling the wine.
You’re told that the wine below your schnoz is giving off elements of berries, or citrus or a wet stone.
But if you’ve ever wanted something a bit more invigorating for your senses then you should absolutely try Noble Fellows Princess Petunia Marlborough Pinot Rosé.
Advert
This 750ml bottle of deliciousness has been developed to resemble the aromas and taste of a pork roast, which is why you have a gorgeous little pig on the label of the wine.
Forget those usual smells you’re meant to inhale in wine; who wouldn’t want to be reminded of delicious pork crackling and succulent meat while they’re drinking wine?
While it has all the usual textures of a Pinot Rosé, Noble Fellows infused a couple kilos of bacon and pork ribs into the vats of finished wine, where it’s allowed to sit for days to really soak up the flavours.
But if that’s not your vibe, then you can always try Noble Fellows Mary Bo Peep Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc.
Noble Fellows decided to infuse this delicious drop with pan-seared halloumi and creamy triple-cream Brie, to really send your senses wild.
That tangy, rich and slightly salty flavour is swimming throughout this stunning drop and it will be a cheese lover’s dream.
In a similar vein to the Princess Petunia Marlborough Pinot Rosé, stacks of feta were crushed and blended, with the liquid extracted from that added into the winemaking process. Mmm, yum, yum yum.
If you’re wondering what the hell the people at Noble Fellows are doing at their winery over in New Zealand’s stunning Marlborough region, you might want to check today’s date.
YOU. HAVE. BEEN. HAD!
The Princess Petunia Marlborough Pinot Rosé does not taste or smell like a pork roast but it’s still bloody delicious. It has distinctive flavours of strawberry, bright red cherries and cranberry; and is best served chilled.
Similarly, the Mary Bo Peep Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc is not brimming with hints of halloumi or Brie cheese and, in fact, has fine aromas of tropical passionfruit and citrus.
The Rosé is great for casual get-togethers and goes wonderfully with fresh seafood, and the Sauvignon Blanc is a delight with grilled vegetables or creamy pasta dishes. They’re also stunning for a chilled sunset drink or a bougie little bottle to bring to a dinner party.
Noble Fellows is a delightful wine brand from our pals across the Tasman in New Zealand. They pride themselves on serving witty Shakespearean-like characters for some of our favourite wine varietals.
People all over absolutely adore these wines, so if you’re keen to try out these two drops, or any other of Noble Fellows’ bottles, then head instore or online to BWS to find out more.
