Reviews and Ratings

Tania Thomas - CSW, WSET ADV rated this wine as 93/100 with the following review:

An unexpected blend of predominantly Grenache with small additions of Shiraz, Cab Sauv and Mataro, creates this crisp and refreshing rose from Barossa. Bright and vibrant palate with aromas and flavours of fragrant ripe peaches and tangerines with a touch of spice. Just off dry, medium bodied with rich, luxurious mouthfeel. Perfectly paired with slightly spicy Thai or Indian dishes. For best results, serve chilled. Tasted June 2017. Tania Thomas – www.runawaygrape.com.
Stephen Andrews reviewed this wine as follows:

Tasted June 14th 2017. Colour very clear and brilliant with just a tint of pink. Aroma of pink grapefruit, perfume, strawberry, orange blossom with a note of orange rind. On the palate very light pink grapefruit a little acid but the taste disappears quickly. So not much of a finish. It is easy drinking with light fruit taste good on its own. We had it with pan fry pickerel coated with a flour and jerk spice mixture, potatoes salad and green peas. Matched ok.
