2023 KP Naturally Tempranillo Rosé, Margaret River

Made from tempranillo, this is an attractive pastel pink hue with lots of juicy fruit; quite sweet as there are flavours of fairy floss, candied apple, raspberries and red lollies. Yet also zesty and bright, tangy and juicy on the finish. Simple and enjoyable.Drink by 2024

KP Naturally Tempranillo Rosé from Margaret River is a juicy, textural pink wine that leans into wild ferment charm and natural vibrancy. Crafted by Keiran Parker with a minimal intervention philosophy, this rosé is dry, unfiltered, and full of character—bursting with bright fruit, subtle savoury edges, and a gently wild personality that makes it seriously fun to drink.

The Tempranillo is sourced from sustainably farmed vines in Margaret River’s warmer northern sites, where the variety ripens with natural freshness and spice. The fruit is whole bunch pressed with a short time on skins to give a delicate blush and a hint of tannin. Fermented spontaneously with wild yeasts and bottled unfiltered with little or no sulphur, it’s a true expression of site and season.

In the glass, it shows a hazy pale salmon hue with aromas of wild strawberry, blood orange, rosehip, and dried herbs. The palate is dry and textural with juicy red berries, tangy citrus, and a touch of earthy spice. There’s a lovely phenolic grip and a crisp, slightly salty finish that keeps you coming back for more.

Perfect slightly chilled with grilled prawns, tomato-based dishes, or a long afternoon with good company, this is a rosé made for relaxed drinking and natural wine lovers.
