Tscharke Grenache Rosé
For years the Tscharke family has tended their premium Barossa vineyards to supply grapes to famous Penfolds. Today, however, Damien Tscharke is keen to keep the best grapes and make a wine of his own. Tscharke are leading the way with organic wines that reflect the terroir and the personality of the fruit, in this case grenache from the Marananga sub region. This is a deliciously versatile, luscious Barossa Grenache with just a dash of Mourvèdre (aka Mataro) for complexity and freshness. Some lees fermentation added some texture and body. It's super-refreshing and too versatile to bring to mind an ideal food pairing, you just can't go wrong!
Séraphin Côtes de Provence Rosé
Millbrook Grenache Shiraz Mourvedre
All three varieties were sourced from a single vineyard in an area of the Ferguson Valley that is perfect for growing these varieties and which produces fruit rich in flavour with tannins that are fleshy and ripe. The wine displays delicious characteristics of red fruit, cherry and plum with an underlying hint of blueberry and spice. The wine is medium-bodied, with pronounced varietal fruit flavours and a long finish.
Temple Bruer Preservative Free Rose
Temple Bruer Preservative Free Rose has loads of yummy cherry and pineapple flavours and a nice dry finish. Goes really well with sweet chilli dishes or Asian food.
Hancock & Hancock Shiraz Grenache
Restrained and supple, lots of ripe dark plum, pepper and spice of Shiraz with the rose petal perfume lift and red cherry taste of Grenache. Lovely lightness and brightness to the back palate with a faint dried herbal and savoury edge, making it terrific immediate drinking but will cellar nicely for 5-10 years.
Pizzini Rosetta Rose
If one is an Italian winemaker established in King Valley region, chances are that he would use a grape variety like the great Sangiovese to craft a Rosetta wine. This is exactly what the Pizzinis have done, making them a revered name in the Australian wine industry. Their Rosetta is a marvellous and savoury pink wine that matches well with a wide variety of food. Flavours of strawberries and cherries along with aromas of fresh berries and carefully selected cranberries are integrated into each drop of this wonderful wine. Serve this Rosetta with seafood or antipasto.
