Winemakers Notes:

Our '25 Malbec Rosé is a very light pale pink reminiscent of the famous rosés of Provence. Aromatics of bright red cherries, pomegranate and turkish delight leap out of the glass. The palate is fresh and vibrant offering a myriad of summer fruit flavours including wild strawberries, red cherry and raspberry.

Cameron Douglas - Master Sommelier

90/100 Premium

Deep pink with a red hue lead to big flavours of cherry and raspberry, there’s a touch of strawberry compote, rose and Turkish delight. Off-dry in style though only just, the acid line delivers balance and freshness and frames the fruits perfectly. A whisper of milk chocolate, some very fine lees and tannins add to the weight and presentation. An ideal choice for slightly spiced or complex Asian fare. Best from 2025 through 2026.

Estate-grown in the Bridge Pa Triangle, the attractive, bright pink 2025 vintage is very fresh and lively.  Medium-bodied, it has delicate watermelon, peach and strawberry flavours, fresh acidity and a basically dry finish.  Vibrantly fruity and smooth, it's drinking well in early-mid 2026.

★★★★★ 93/100

Fresh and fragrant, the inviting bouquet shows cranberry, Gala apple, lemon peel, and floral aromas. The palate displays fine flow, excellent vibrancy, and juicy acidity, finishing long and mouthwatering. At its best: now to 2027.
