Description

Charles Melton’s cult-favourite rosé doesn’t follow fashion - it just does its thing, year in, year out, and it’s all the better for it. Deep in colour, packed with flavour and dry as a bone, this is a proper grown-up rosé with serious personality.

Made mostly from Grenache, with a bit of Shiraz and Cabernet in the blend, it’s got all the hallmarks fans have come to expect - bright red fruit, a touch of musk and spice, and just the right amount of grip. It’s generous but never heavy, vibrant but not shouty. The fruit is all hand-picked from Melton’s Krondorf and Eden Valley sites, and it shows in the freshness and balance.

There’s plenty to love here straight out of the fridge, but it’s also a great match with food - whether that’s a long summer lunch, something grilled over coals, or just snacks in the sun. Still one of Australia’s most distinctive rosés, and still delicious.

A great follow on to the 2022. Sharing many of the same characteristics. Similar depth and vitality to the colour, as is expected, and what has made Rose of Virginia unique in the ebb and flow of Rose trends. A sultry musk upon initial pouring, with that trademark spicy hint of high-quality Turkish delight but not at all losing its serious vinosity. A fine, dry structure, but again a touch of the smoothness but liveliness of our Rose cellar style. Perfectly weighted for that spring & summer lunch.
