Sangiovese Rosé Wines

This cheeky little Rose is more sweet in style than dry, and displays bright aromas of red cherries, strawberries and dairy on the nose. The palate is light and a touch sweet with confected red berry flavours, friendly acidity, and a soft, juicy f...

This bright and frisky Rose from Mitolo is simply a bloody good drink! Bucket loads of red fruits and fresh rose petals attack the senses at first sniff, together with touches of oregano. The palate is light, bright and slightly buttery with a sol...

Something is going on in the world of pink wine. For the last couple of years we’ve started to see a proliferation of wineries producing dry, savoury styles that deliver mouth-watering fruit and are dry as a desert. This one from Chapel Hill is m...

The Yalumba Y Series Sangiovese Rose´ 2012 resembles fresh pomegranate juice in colour. Aromas of fresh fruits, strawberries, pomegranate and rhubarb are complemented by alluring hints of rose petals, cinnamon and lavender. The palate is vibrant w...

If you are going to make a Rosé in the King Valley and you come from an Italian heritage, the chances are you’ll use a variety like Sangiovese to make a Rosetta style. That’s what the Pizzini’s have done and in the process made a nicely savoury pi...

Light salmon pink colour with purple reflections. Clean, fresh but shy aroma. No faults, but just not very overt. Lively, light and intense, somewhat shrill with searing acidity and brightness. A little too vivid, really, and strident. Really need...

Light to medium salmon colour. Oaky aromas, coconut and sawn timber notes. Rich, soft, rounded palate with savoury notes and a clean finish. A light tinge of tannin. Clean wine and savoury, dry and food friendly, even if the oak is slightly obvious.

Bright, medium to full hot pink/purple colour. Sweet, confectionery raspberry and cherry aromas, clean and simple. It's very sweet, though. Quite unbalanced and very much aimed at the lollypop ros_ market.

Full red/purple/pink colour. Herbal, fresh, simple aromas. Some carbon dioxide spritz which pushes up the acidity. Unusual palate feel. Disjointed and falls away to a sweet, firm, acid finish.

Trophy McLaren Vale Wine Show '11 for Best Rose a handy introduction. Pale salmon-pink; the bouquet is of wild flowers and spice, the palate following on seamlessly, the lingering spiced cherry flavours needing no sweetness. Classy wine

Pale but vivid pink; light, fresh cherry blossom aromas lead into a fresh, crisp and dry palate; perfect now as an aperitif or as an accompaniment to cold dishes.

Pale pink; cherry aromas with some spicy nougat notes come through on the palate, which has good balance (neither sweet nor dry) and length. Nice wine.

The darkest and most structured rose in my Valentine's special, there is a texture here derived from the rounded phenolics of sangiovese skins. It's a refreshing and spicy style with lovely definition of strawberry, guava and watermelon fruit. Lea...

Pale-salmon hue and exuberant perfume - a little Chanel No. 5 - and plenty of fragrant red fruits; hints of wild herbs too. The palate comes in nicely honed shape, less residual than the 2009 edition, red-apple and light-cherry flavours, hints of ...

The wine displays a wonderful vibrant salmon colour with a fragrant red berry fruit nose, clean and pure. The palate is fresh and clean with surprisingly intense berry fruit characters typical of ripe Cabernet Sauvignon. The finish is clean lively...
