In February, we say yes-way to rose and send our summer salutations to these easy sippers from Western Australia, Adelaide and Provence in the south of France.
2022 MILES FROM NOWHERE MARGARET RIVER
A force of marmalade, juicy strawberries, musk sticks and summer-ripened tangerines. Shiraz grapes give this light bodied beauty its mulberry glow. Tastes like fresh cut strawberries, or sinking a raspberry Zooper Dooper poolside. It’s all fruity fun under the sun, tightly wound grapefruit keeps things in check.
SPECIALS: RRP: $21 per bottle, $18.99 in any dozen.
2022 HOWARD VINEYARD ROSÉ ADELAIDE HILLS
Mystical violets, watermelon, golden delicious apples and strawberries carry the nose. To taste, think savoury, spice and crisp summer fruits: strawberries, apples, white peaches, bracing pink grapefruit acidity, with a green bent. Makes good pals with pork belly.
SPECIALS: RRP: $22 per bottle, $18.99 in rose dozen.
2021 DOMAINE PONTFRACT COTES DE PROVENCE
Blushing a brassy, pale salmon in the glass, this Provence rose looks like a Mildura sunset in peak summer. Quenching with mineral water, watermelon and fresh from the patch strawberries, there’s fruit and texture with levelling lemon acidity. Drink me with white bait, fried food or anything by the sea. Is the Provence rosé trend dead in the water? Not yet: let me finish my glass.
SPECIALS: $40 per bottle, $31.99 in rose dozen.
ROSE DOZEN: Three bottles of each wine above for $18.99. RRP CASE: $332, SAVE: $104.12 a dozen.
