Winery Notes: “Coming from Edna Valley, picked at a lighter Brix than for red wine, the Pinot Noir variety is perfect for a crisp light Rosé. Underripe strawberry and grapefruit on the nose and when you taste this wine, you get bright citrus tones that are nicely balanced with the fresh acidity.”

Winery Notes:“Fresh and welcoming on the nose with aromas of fresh fruit salad with hints of strawberry, red apple, melon, grape and slight suggestions of fresh cream. Hints of fresh cut flowers.”

Tasting Notes: “Arnot Roberts 2023 Rosé of Touriga Nacional, Trincadeira, Grenache, and Tinta Cao starts with a beautiful nose of roses, steely minerality, strawberries and cream, and cinnamon spice. On the palate, the wine has a silky texture and vibrant flavors of juicy red plums, grapefruit, peach, and mixed berry yogurt. This rosé has an impressive flavor concentration and pleasant finish that you’ll be chasing all summer.” 95 Points | Anne Sewell, DipWSET

Tasting Notes: “The 2022 Rosé Château de Selle Cru Classé opens with a striking bouquet, blending dusty dried flowers with ginger, a spritz of lemon and crushed apples. It’s supple and soothing to the senses, with a textural wave of white strawberry, candied orange and sweet inner florals. A core of brilliant acidity maintains a fantastic balance as this tapers off long and potent. A mineral staining and citrus hints tease the taste buds. Please pour me another.” 93 Points | Vinous
