1
00:00:07,133 --> 00:00:10,453
Speaker 1: You're listening to the Saturday Morning with Jack Tame podcast

2
00:00:10,573 --> 00:00:11,693
Speaker 1: from News Talks AB.

3
00:00:12,733 --> 00:00:15,613
Speaker 2: Cameron Douglas is our master somlier and this week for

4
00:00:15,693 --> 00:00:19,133
Speaker 2: his wine pick, he's chosen a Tiki single vineyard pen

5
00:00:19,213 --> 00:00:22,493
Speaker 2: and while Rose. The vintage is twenty twenty four from

6
00:00:22,493 --> 00:00:25,853
Speaker 2: North Canterbury and retail for about twenty six dollars gold.

7
00:00:25,813 --> 00:00:28,973
Speaker 2: To Cameron, CURTA, good morning, So talk to us a

8
00:00:29,013 --> 00:00:32,213
Speaker 2: little bit. First of all about this rose's color. How

9
00:00:32,213 --> 00:00:34,613
Speaker 2: do you think about the right color for rose wines?

10
00:00:35,773 --> 00:00:39,613
Speaker 3: Well, the truth is there's only one document that I've

11
00:00:39,653 --> 00:00:44,653
Speaker 3: seen online that displays the different range of colors for rose.

12
00:00:44,933 --> 00:00:47,413
Speaker 3: So what that means in an instant is that all

13
00:00:47,533 --> 00:00:51,493
Speaker 3: colors of rose are valid. But the trend, of course

14
00:00:51,533 --> 00:00:56,053
Speaker 3: at the moment is people who target wines that have

15
00:00:56,853 --> 00:01:02,053
Speaker 3: that pale, anemic looking salmon color. And it's a valid color,

16
00:01:03,173 --> 00:01:06,053
Speaker 3: but it's not the only color. I've tasted fabulous New

17
00:01:06,133 --> 00:01:11,293
Speaker 3: Zealand and international examples that are quite raspberry red through

18
00:01:11,333 --> 00:01:15,733
Speaker 3: to a deeper red color and right through to almost pale,

19
00:01:15,893 --> 00:01:19,173
Speaker 3: pale salmon pink. You know, it's that there is a

20
00:01:19,333 --> 00:01:22,693
Speaker 3: range and all colors are acceptable. But I also have

21
00:01:22,813 --> 00:01:25,173
Speaker 3: to accept that most of the samples that cross my

22
00:01:25,253 --> 00:01:28,653
Speaker 3: desk these days are quite sort of that salmon apricot color,

23
00:01:29,373 --> 00:01:31,053
Speaker 3: and the wines can taste fabulous.

24
00:01:31,213 --> 00:01:33,493
Speaker 2: Yes, So to tell us about the Tiki single vineyard

25
00:01:33,573 --> 00:01:34,533
Speaker 2: pen and wir rose.

26
00:01:35,733 --> 00:01:40,253
Speaker 3: Well it's coming, you know. We're in spring. Touchwood and

27
00:01:40,613 --> 00:01:44,293
Speaker 3: smers just around the corner, and roses are wines that

28
00:01:44,773 --> 00:01:49,653
Speaker 3: are very very popular. Tiki as a single vineyard pen

29
00:01:49,733 --> 00:01:55,013
Speaker 3: and rose struck me as one of a bouquet of

30
00:01:55,253 --> 00:01:59,173
Speaker 3: ripeness and freshness. And it was a rose of complexity

31
00:01:59,213 --> 00:02:02,493
Speaker 3: as style, and very few roses can have the sense

32
00:02:02,493 --> 00:02:06,693
Speaker 3: of sight around them, so that minerality or earthiness we

33
00:02:06,773 --> 00:02:09,173
Speaker 3: tend to find as an echo through wine is quite

34
00:02:09,213 --> 00:02:13,413
Speaker 3: strong with the Techi rose. Lots of flavors of tea

35
00:02:13,533 --> 00:02:17,173
Speaker 3: and raspberry and roses and even some tropical fruits, so

36
00:02:17,693 --> 00:02:21,213
Speaker 3: it ticks all the boxes in terms of aromatics and flavors.

37
00:02:21,253 --> 00:02:24,493
Speaker 3: But of course taste and mouthfeel are important as well,

38
00:02:24,533 --> 00:02:27,093
Speaker 3: and I find this one had a nice little satin

39
00:02:27,373 --> 00:02:30,853
Speaker 3: touch with a backbone of vacidity, so very very nice wine.

40
00:02:30,973 --> 00:02:33,533
Speaker 2: Yeah nice. It was twenty twenty four, a good season.

41
00:02:34,693 --> 00:02:39,533
Speaker 3: Overall, it was very good. I think the South Island

42
00:02:39,613 --> 00:02:41,653
Speaker 3: fared a little better than the North Island. There was

43
00:02:41,693 --> 00:02:45,213
Speaker 3: a bit of frost around, but overall I think North

44
00:02:45,253 --> 00:02:50,373
Speaker 3: Canterbury and Central Otago combined got the love the most,

45
00:02:50,973 --> 00:02:55,013
Speaker 3: and there was a little bit of hail and whatnot,

46
00:02:55,053 --> 00:02:59,293
Speaker 3: but it tended to achieve above average yields and wine

47
00:02:59,333 --> 00:03:02,693
Speaker 3: makers spoke about really how happy they were overall.

48
00:03:02,493 --> 00:03:04,773
Speaker 2: Very good. What would you match this weather? Do you think?

49
00:03:06,493 --> 00:03:06,733
Speaker 1: Well?

50
00:03:06,813 --> 00:03:08,853
Speaker 3: Rosees a wine that sort of weaves in and out

51
00:03:08,893 --> 00:03:11,053
Speaker 3: a lot of different foods, so you can match it

52
00:03:11,133 --> 00:03:16,253
Speaker 3: with almost anything except probably big red steaks, but even

53
00:03:16,293 --> 00:03:19,773
Speaker 3: then it can work quite well. I think Rose is

54
00:03:19,813 --> 00:03:27,613
Speaker 3: well suited to dishes that relatively complex or have quite

55
00:03:27,653 --> 00:03:33,933
Speaker 3: a strong flavor underpin of gentle spices, even a little

56
00:03:33,933 --> 00:03:39,933
Speaker 3: bit of sugar. But cheeseboards absolutely yes, Minnestrone soup, absolutely yes.

57
00:03:40,013 --> 00:03:42,133
Speaker 3: If you have a cheeseboard with figs and apricots and

58
00:03:42,173 --> 00:03:44,693
Speaker 3: strawberries and things like that on this summer, you'll be

59
00:03:44,733 --> 00:03:49,293
Speaker 3: talking magic with a Rose match. And if you like fish,

60
00:03:49,293 --> 00:03:53,373
Speaker 3: flaky whitefish, little caper butter sauce and champagne ham on

61
00:03:53,453 --> 00:03:55,213
Speaker 3: Christmas Day, you can't go wrong.

62
00:03:55,933 --> 00:03:56,813
Speaker 2: That's fantastic.

63
00:03:56,853 --> 00:03:57,213
Speaker 3: All right.

64
00:03:57,253 --> 00:03:59,173
Speaker 2: So Cameron's wine for us this week is a Tiki

65
00:03:59,253 --> 00:04:02,853
Speaker 2: single vineyard pino noir rose. The vintage is twenty twenty

66
00:04:02,853 --> 00:04:05,333
Speaker 2: four retails from about twenty six dollars. We'll make sure

67
00:04:05,853 --> 00:04:07,413
Speaker 2: the details so that are up on the News Talks

68
00:04:07,453 --> 00:04:09,493
Speaker 2: E'DB website, and he says make sure that if you

69
00:04:09,533 --> 00:04:12,573
Speaker 2: are enjoying a rose, you should serve it between ten

70
00:04:12,573 --> 00:04:15,573
Speaker 2: and twelve degrees. Don't overchill it. Too many of us

71
00:04:15,853 --> 00:04:18,613
Speaker 2: freeze our roses and you lose some of the complexity.

72
00:04:18,693 --> 00:04:20,053
Speaker 2: So don't over chill your rose.
