Giant Steps Yarra Valley Rosé 2024
A blend of early picked pinot noir and syrah; hand picked and whole-bunch pressed. A light orange pink. Bursting with redcurrant, raspberry, orange zest and lavender aromas while the palate is bone dry, zesty and refreshing. Finishes with excellent cut and persistence.  Date: Feb 2025; Alcohol: 12%; Price: $30.00; Drink by: 2027; Rating: 95 Points & Special Value Star; James Halliday Wine Companion

Torzi Matthews Mystic Park Barossa Rosé 2023
Rosato di Sangiovese. Raspberry, cherry, blood orange, some dusty and peppery spice. It's dry and a little peppery in texture, a little of that almost liquorice-like Sangiovese character coming through, again the blood orange tang, with a tight and spicy finish of good length. Nice wine here, and I reckon it will be better again by the end of summer. Date: October 2023; Alcohol: 13%; Price: $25; Closure: Screwcap; Drink: to 2026; Rated: 92 Points; Gary Walsh; The Wine Front

Mitolo Jester Rosé 2024
Pretty pale pink. Check. Fruitful but delicate. Check. Dry and refreshing. Check. It does all the things and for a very fair price from premium fruit in a premium region. This was tasted early, and it will flex a little, and to its benefit, but the sapid dryness is very engaging, set against pristine notes of tart cherry, strawberry, rose and cranberry. There's an appealing savouriness to this against the exuberance of the 2023. It's very good and exceptional value. Drink to: 2026; Date Tasted: December 2024; Alcohol: 13%; Price: $25.00; Rating: 93 Points & Special Value Star; James Halliday Wine Companion

Fullylove Margaret River Rosé 2022
A delightful Rosé, based on Margaret River Shiraz. As seems inevitable, 2022 was a superb vintage in the region. This is a mix of free run and pressings, the idea being to offer a dry, Provence-style rosé and it would seem that they have been very successful in that. Pale, pigeon-eye pink, the nose offers florals, strawberries and cream, and red cherries. Fresh, clean, dry, this is a very fine rosé. Bright acidity is delightfully refreshing to enjoy now.
