Brut Rosé 2006 – Black Market Deal #39258
- Crisp, fine
- Mornington Peninsula
Very impressive to see 15 year old sparkling looking this good. We’ve managed to get the last few cases from the winery of this late disgorged wonder, so don’t dilly dally, mofos.
Profile
Just to start things off on the right note, the colour in the glass is a lovely rose-gold. Very honeyed (leatherwood) and floral, but citrusy and fresh with a bunch of red fruits, along with more developed, toastiness, shitake mushroom and truffle butter. Rounded, fine, earthy and elegant.
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
Mornington Peninsula
The Mornington Peninsula is one of those places you dream of retiring - once you've made a cool $10m to get you into the Red Hill club. The sublime mix of temperate climate, expansive views, lush hills and pristine beaches is something not many would turn their nose up at. You can rest assured that every winery here has all the money they need, and although the wines may be relatively expensive, they're made as close to idealistic aspirations as possible. It's hard to find a bad wine. The usual cool climate suspects are the mainstay here (Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris, Chardonnay and Riesling) and they range from ethereal to weighty. Whichever end of the spectrum, they're all class.
