About The Wine
The Combes Dem Roses is a light, pale Pinot Noir Rose from the Yarra Valley.
This fruit comes from some excellent vineyards in the Upper Yarra Valley, God's country for growing Pinot Noir.
It gets a little work in the winery, some funky, smoky savoury notes poke their head out, but the finish is cool, crisp and clean as a whistle.
Loving Rose that's more than just a tutti-fruity adult cordial? This should make you think a little as you drink a lot.
About Combes
The Combes wines are made by thoughtful young avant-garde wine producer, Oscar Hermann.
Sourced from excellent vineyards in the Yarra Valley and farther afield, Oscar takes a minimal intervention approach to his winemaking practice.
The wines coming out of his cellar are excellent. They are raw, energetic and show a distinct sense of place. Each bottle you open feels like it's a living thing. Each vineyard he showcases shines in the glass.
As Mike Bennie once wrote about his eclectic suite of wines, "you should dive in."

Critic Reviews
"Rose from the excellent, new-ish Combes project wines. This staple has been a winner in past outings. More tinny and hand reel than yacht and prawn sandwiches, but that suits me just fine. It’s one of those square wines that shows a kinky twist. Like your nerd mate at school that turned out to be in a really active swingers circle. Meanwhile, crunch and zip, all cranberry and green apple vibes here. Very pure feeling, light, faintly savoury and dry. Righteously mouth-watering and chalky to finish. So very, very pleasing." - Mike Bennie (The Wine Front)

Can coupons and discounts be stacked? No, only one discount or coupon can be applied to an order at once.
I am trying to add more of a wine to my cart but it won’t let me? This means we are running low on stock of that wine. So for example, if the website will only allow you to add 3 bottles and no more, then that is all we have of that particular wine. The good news is we may be able to order more for you.
