Rosé 2018 – Black Market Deal #35168
- Crisp, dry
- Victoria
This 5 red star Halliday rated winery blesses wine lists in restaurants and bars far and wide yet you need not book a table and don your finest evening wear to get your mitts on this, let us deliver it straight to your door. This rosé is made up mainly of grenache which provides lashings of crunchy red cherries and raspberries with an ever-so-subtle dash of spice. Throw in a healthy measure of pinot noir (30% to be precise) to the blend and we’re looking at all the savoury and pretty hints to take this little number to the next level. Bone dry and food friendly, this ever popular pink has seen zero oak and is made to drink right now. So take a peep out your kitchen window, is the sun shining? Well that’s reason enough to pop the lid and treat yourself to a splash or two.

What is a Black Market deal?
Black Market deals are only made possible if we don’t reveal the maker’s brand on site. The wines are the genuine article – absolutely no cleanskins or fake brands, just dangerously good value. You won’t find out what it is until it hits your doorstep, but you won’t regret it. Just keep it on the down low.
It’s cool, we get it, you want to know absolutely everything about this wine. Well here you go, go nuts.

Region
Victoria
If I had to wrap Vic up in a broad sweeping statement about so many regions bundled up into a convenient if arbitrary delineation based on government legislated boundaries, then it would be to say that it's home to some of the greatest cool climate regions in the world, producing wonders such as Mornington Peninsula Pinot Noir, Henty Riesling, Nagambie Marsanne and Yarra Valley Chardonnay. If you're Victorian, then count yourself lucky that you're so close to this juice, you footy-loving, tram-catching, fixie-riding freak, you.
The rules are there ain’t no rules, but here are some foods we think will work pretty well with this wine...
