"95 Points. Sports the prettiest musk-pink colour, but don't assume this is a particularly sweet or lightweight rosé. It's anything but. Fresh, crunchy acidity provides the basis for a display of striking fruit intensity: cherry, cranberry, acacia, pepper, spice. A light spray of juicy sweet fruit brings added succulence and length. Seriously good rosé, whatever the occasion. $22. 12.5% alc. Screwcap"- Jeni Port, winecompanion.com.au.
"Full of life and vitality with white peach, cherry, cranberry, smoked meats, flint strike, peppery rocket/arugula spice and a little sweaty muskiness. Over delivers for the price and appearance. Serious work, with driving acidity offset by good red fruit bursts and a dichotomous dry yet juicy finish. Wants to be poured for seared tuna or beef carpaccio. $21.40 RRP. 12.5% alc. Rating: 18/20 (92/100)"- Regan Drew, vinonotebook.com.
