New Zealand Review Wine editor Scott has the following to say about this wine:

“This unique, fresh, cloudy Rosé is predominantly made from Riesling with a citrus flavour and a touch of oak. A perfect wine comes summertime to be shared with friends who are looking for something a little bit different from their Rosé.”

Did you know: this Martinborough wine gets its colour from skin contact with the grapes and is naturally fermented and also vegan.

2026 tasting context: what “cloudy Rosé” can tell you

The original note describes one Cambridge Road Rosé of Venus 2019 bottle: Riesling-led, citrusy, lightly oaked, naturally fermented, vegan and deliberately cloudy. It is a vintage-specific impression, not a review of every later release. Cambridge Road’s official site has listed a 2022 Rosé of Venus with Riesling contributing acidity, which shows continuity in the idea but not an identical wine.

Cloudiness is information, not an automatic verdict

A wine may look hazy because it was bottled with limited filtration or contains yeast and grape solids. In an intentionally minimal-intervention wine, that can be part of the producer’s style. It does not prove quality by itself, and unexpected fizz, strong vinegar, nail-polish, rotten-egg or mouse-like notes may still indicate a fault or a bottle that needs assessment.

Skin contact, fermentation and vegan claims

  • Rosé colour comes from controlled contact between juice and dark grape skins; the exact depth depends on grape variety, duration and extraction.
  • “Naturally fermented” generally points to ambient or indigenous yeast rather than a selected cultured yeast, but it does not mean nothing was managed in the cellar.
  • Wine itself comes from grapes, yet some conventional fining agents are animal-derived. A vegan claim normally means those agents were not used; verify the specific vintage if this matters to you.
  • Oak can add texture or subtle spice, but the original reviewer’s “touch of oak” is a sensory impression, not a laboratory measurement.

Serve cool rather than ice-cold, gently invert only if the producer recommends integrating sediment, and taste before deciding whether to decant. Once opened, reseal and refrigerate. Alcohol is for adults; do not drink before driving, during pregnancy, or contrary to medication or health advice.
