Strawberry and watermelon lead, with a lift of pink grapefruit and a faint savoury edge. The palate is light-bodied, dry and crisp, finishing clean and refreshing.

Winemaking

Made in a bright, dry style to keep the fruit crunchy and the finish clean. As a no added preservative wine, it’s made without added sulphur dioxide, relying on careful handling to keep everything fresh and vibrant.

Vineyard & Vintage

From certified organic fruit selected for freshness and natural acidity—key for rosé that feels crisp, not sweet. The result is a clean, dry pink that’s built for food and sunshine.

Why We Love It

Because it’s rosé for people who actually like dry wine. Crisp, refreshing and not at all lolly-like—plus it plays beautifully with food (especially anything salty, spicy or herby).

Food Pairing

Rosé loves seafood, salads, chargrilled veg and anything with herbs and citrus. It’s also a sneaky Spicy-Food Specialist—perfect with chilli, lime and Thai-style flavours.
