Mesta Tempranillo Rose
The Mesta was a powerful association of shepherds in Medieval Castile, controlling the routes for herding sheep across the country. The Mesta vineyards are situated deep in the land of the Mesta. They are still passed over by flocks on their annual migration, a reminder of ancient rights and a cultural cue for continuing co-existence with nature. Trough organic viticulture and respectful winemaking, they produce wines of great purity, reflecting the unique personality of their land and grape varieties. An approachable but serious rosé wine, displaying great purity and typicity for the noble Tempranillo grape, in a lighter, more elegant style than most Spanish rosés. Pale strawberry colour, with intense and fresh berry aromas over subtle floral notes. Excellent concentration and a slightly off-dry finish, beautifully balanced by crisp acidity and a refreshing, savoury note. A perfect summer drink and a highly versatile food wine with pasta, rice dishes, vegetables and curries as well as stir-fried, spicier dishes.
Vibrant Rosé Dozen
Savour a star from sunny Saint Tropez and five Aussies including a pair from Margaret River and another new arrival from Frankland River’s great Alkoomi Estate. Sam Trimboli’s Pink Duck is a juicy Montepulciano and the impressive BedLam & OrdEr team delivers a lovely blend of Pinot Gris and Grenache. Lovely to look at – delicious to sip. Cheers!
Summer Rosé Six Pack
Versatility is in the make up of a well-made rosé – combine it with the LOW price you see here and without a doubt rosé becomes an ‘everyday’ pleasure. The colours on display make for perfect Summer drinking, although good rosé is rightly increasingly popular all year round. The versatility is epitomised by two flavour-packed and elegant South Australian bestsellers: Patronus and 16 Little Black Pigs. There are two high-pointed rosés from the Limestone Coast, one a pure Merlot, the other a Shiraz “with pristine fruit flavours backed by fine texture and bright acidity,” (Wine Orbit). Howard Vineyard is a high-altitude strawberry and spice-laced drop from Adelaide Hills “Good times ahoy … this is nicely done” (Halliday). It’s great value too! Then, from WA’s Great Southern you have a pure Pinot Noir that won Top Gold and a huge 95pts at Australia’s Cool Climate Wine Show. At $13.99 a bottle these are a steal!
Banrock Station Rose
Lovely light wine full of floral notes, strawberries and jasmine which is slightly off-dry and has a crisp, zesty finish. Perfect for spring, summer picnics and spicy food!
Jacob's Creek Shiraz Rosé
Jacob's Creek continues to produce fantastic wines at some incredible price points and their rosé is a prime example with it's lusicous palate of spicy cherry with a hint of fruit sweetness.
