Graham Norton Rose 2023

Invivo's collaboration with Graham Norton, international star and host of UK’s number one chat show, has been anything but the clichéd celebrity endorsement.

Our first vintage in 2014 was uniquely produced by flying freshly picked Marlborough grapes to London to be crushed by Graham’s feet on the set of his show! The juice was then taken back to New Zealand and added to Graham’s wine… adding a touch of “Norton Hemisphere” magic to every bottle.

We’re a few more vintages in now and Graham controls every aspect of the blending process. His best-selling (and awarded) NZ SauviGNon Blanc has been joined by a wildly popular New Zealand Rosé, South Australian Shiraz, Italian Prosecco, Rosé Prosecco, and most recently an Argentinian Malbec. Plus there are three Gins and a new Vodka in the range!

This soft, delicate Rose is comprised of Merlot (30%), Pinot Noir (30%), Pinot Gris (20%) and Sauvignon Blanc (20%). Exquisite pale pink in the glass, the nose offers fresh muddled strawberries and watermelon. The palate is zingy and vibrant with great acidity that provides drive and freshness throughout the palate. 12% ABV.
