Description Attractive, versatile Aussie rosés are seriously well-made, and loved by fans of both reds and whites especially at this time of year. With Top Gold and 95pts Risky Business delivers a Great Southern Pinot Noir beauty. Lip-smacking BedLam & OrdEr is rich in Margaret River Shiraz while Montepulciano is the grape behind Sam Trimboli’s Pink Duck. Ripe straight Cabs in pink come from Adelaide Hills and Wrattonbully, but with two Trophies, two Double Gold and more, Zonte’s Footstep Cab blend is perhaps star of the show. Delicious fruit quality throughout. Take two bottles of each to save $94.
Scarlet Ladybird Rosé always comes up smelling of rose petals with lovely delicate ladylike edges. This drop is a real lady killer.
Winner of a Top-Gold and 95pts. With or without food, this is a well-balanced clean, crisp and dry Rosé, with strawberry and raspberry in its flavour profile, but a nicely balanced acidity keeping things fresh and crisp.
Lovely to look at, delicious to sip on a sunny afternoon, this is a high altitude, strawberry-and-spice rosé from close to Adelaide.
From the charmingly named Eight at the Gate, a family-owned estate in Wrattonbully, this very attractive 93pt single vineyard rosé made from pure Cabernet is "charming and refreshing" (Wine Orbit).
The tasting table can be a potentially treacherous place presenting a bedlam of possibly clashing flavours. Bringing order and beauty to the finished wine is a real art – as here in this delightful Margaret River blend.
The 2023 is the third vintage of the Pink Duck – from the brilliant Sam Trimboli. Aussie blush with an Italian twist. No need to fly north for this one, it’s glorious drinking in any season.
