Rosé Of The Year - Halliday Wine Companion 2025
Based in the Bendigo region of Central Victoria, Sutton Grange have been making some exceptional examples of Rosé in recent years. The 2023 Fairbank Rosé continues this tradition, having again being named 'Rosé Of The Year' in the 2025 Halliday Wine Companion.
Another complex, poised and all-round delicious Rosé, the 2023 Sutton Grange Fairbank Rosé opens with lifted aromatics of raspberries, blood orange, red apples and melon. The palate is textured and layered with plenty of strawberry and raspberry notes, bright acidity and a long, dry finish. A seriously good Australian Rosé that is receiving plenty of well-deserved attention.
"96 Points. Rosé of the Year. Takes an award-winning style centred around shiraz, cabernet sauvignon and sangiovese and adds splashes of viognier and fiano. The white grapes bring an extra layer of delicate aromatics and body weight to one impressive rosé. Pretty tea-rose hues. Orange blossom, musk, raspberry, cherry, earth and savoury influences wind and roll their way across this stylish wine. Texture and clean acid drive in sync. What a ripper! $35. 13% alc. Drink: 2024 - 2027. Screwcap. $35."- Jeni Port, Halliday Wine Companion.
