An oh-so-elegant, dry Rosé that dances across your palate.
Summery aromas of poached rhubarb, rose petals and raspberries fill the first sniff, subtly layered with notes of spice, nougat and vanilla cream. The palate is juicy, dry and elegantly complex. Flavours of ripe summer berries, plums and rhubarb are rounded out with notes of crushed savoury herbs. There is a beautiful silky mouthfilling palate leading to a compelling, long dry finish.

"Made from pinot noir grapes grown specifically for rosé. A mid-pink wine, with a fragrant and quite floral aroma that leads to sweet berry fruit and a touch of fresh herbs on the palate. Intense and appealing wine. Gave it 94 points and thought how could you improve that? Then immediately promoted it to 95."
95 POINTS - BOB CAMPBELL, MASTER OF WINE
2021 VINTAGE:
"Captivating and joyful, the enticing bouquet shows nectarine, raspberry, red apple and floral aromas with a hint of spicy complexity. The focused palate displays excellent concentration and flow, combined with refined mouthfeel and bright acidity, finishing mouth-watering and delectably appealing."
95 POINTS | SAM KIM, WINE ORBIT
2020 VINTAGE:
"Juicy, ripe, fleshy red fruit aromas with cherry and red apple, cranberry and strawberry. Floral, ripe and youthful. On the palate - just dry with a core of fruit, medium+ acidity and very fine chalky fruit tannins. Balanced, fresh, concentrated and lengthy. A lovely example ready for summer drinking 2021 and through 2022."
93 POINTS | CAMERON DOUGLAS, MASTER SOMMELIER
2020 VINTAGE:
"Can you even believe the gorgeousness of this bottle? It shouldn’t matter, but lordy! It looks like money on the table, right? Happily the wine inside is just as crisp, crunchy, yet also opulent and exotic. I love the highwire elegance of the aromatics and the cherry blossom, white peach, raspberry razziness. Jules calls her top-tier wines OTQ, which is short for ‘On The Quiet’ – but she needs to rethink that because the noise they make on release means they sell out super-quick. Thai chicken larb? Stop it."
