Judge Rock The Alibi Blanc de Noir Rosé 2021
A delightful, fresh, fruity and enticing bouquet with layers of aroma and flavour of spicy red berry fruit, a core of minerality and texture with a fine lees complexity. Warm and generous with a coarse-silk youthful texture, flavours of strawberry, peach tea and red apple begin top emerge along with a lengthy finish. Quite the delicious example, ready for r drinking from 2021 through end of summer 2023.

Judge Rock 'Innocent' Organic Rosé 2019
A very pretty bouquet with scents of roses and fresh red apple, there’s some tropical melon and fresh fruit tea moments along with a whisper of minerality. Crisp, plush, fruity and quite delicious on the palate. Flavours mirror the bouquet with a core of fruit, contrasting acid line and a balanced, ready to drink appeal. Best drinking from 2021 through end of summer 2023.

Judge Rock 'Guilty' Organic Pet-Nat 2021
Quite an array of scents from tropical fruits to guava, wild strawberry to orange fleshed plum and nectarine. A soft yet persistent aroma of lees adds complexity and intrigue. On the palate - crisp, fresh, citrusy, tart, fruity and fresh. The mousse is fine adding contrast, acidity adds a crispness and bite with some fine fruit tannins and phenolic grip. The finish exudes a pink grapefruit flavour. Overall a lovely example, balanced and well made. Drink from day of purchase and through end of summer 2023.
