"A delicious wine, so good when young with scents and flavours of tropical fruit punch, fresh cherries and tart summer strawberry. Crisp and dry with fine fruit tannins and backbone of acidity. Flavours of red plum and rhubarb, some floral tones and a delicate fruit spice quality all add up to a tasty fleshy wine ready for summer. Best drinking from day of purchase through May 2027" Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier, Nov 2025

"Made from Pinot Noir fruit sourced from the Southern Valleys, greeted with irresistible strawberry and creamy, carried by crisp acidity to an elegant, refreshing finish" Candice Chow, Wine Chat

This wine has a beautiful salmon colour. The aroma is a lovely combination of rosewater, red liquorice, fennel, and sea breeze. The palate has a delicate balance of red berries, watermelon, spice, and Provence herb flavours. The taste is refreshing and juicy, with a subtle savoury undertone and a perfectly balanced crunchy acidity to finish. 

The 2025 growing season kicked off with a warm spring, leading to excellent flowering conditions and healthy yields. A cool, wet summer was followed by dry and warm conditions in February. This allowed for optimal harvest conditions for ripening fruit. As a result, the fruit had vibrant acidity and great concentration, with excellent balance, reflecting the region's signature style. Inspired by founder Dave Clouston's long stints in Corsica and the South of France, our Rosé is Mediterranean in style. Fresh, crisp, dry, and light, achieved by fermenting in cool stainless steel tanks to maintain its fruit purity and varietal character. 

Food Pairing: Most enjoyable when shared with friends while enjoying a delicious charcuterie board.
