2023 Marchand & Burch Villages Rose, Great Southern

Pale coral-pink colour; subtle aromas of straw, dried flowers and pot-pourri; the delicacy and refinement of the colour and bouquet continue on the palate which is dry and subtle, understated and gently complex—as opposed to fruity, the finish balanced, long and appetising. Excellent rosé. 29 MAR 2024 Drink 2024–2025

#2 of 41 2023 Rosés from Western Australia

A pastel pink blush in the glass with flavours that stretch from red jellies to summer berries dusted in spices and beeswax. Yet it’s delicate, too. Not too much of everything with some light creamy lees stretching across the palate while the acidity keeps it all tight. A lovely drink.

A pale, misty peony pink, this Rosé is crafted from a blend of Pinot Noir and old vine Grenache and displays an alluring mix of forest berry perfumes, white strawberries and cranberries with pretty, lifted floral notes of citrus blossom and rose petals. Blood orange, pomegranate and tart, Pink Lady apple notes lead the way for a slick, salty mineral acidity that promotes continued sipping pleasure. Red liquorice and cherry glaze intertwine and bolster the mid-palate while stimulating an expressive mouthfeel that finishes with a lingering and mouthwatering sensation and just a hint of the finest tannin. Refreshing and bright, a wine to enjoy in its youth on a warm, summer’s afternoon, yet it will continue to delight over the next two years.

Marchand & Burch Rosé is made from premium grapes from the Swan Valley, Great Southern and Margaret River. It reflects a contemporary style while taking cues from an admired tradition of dry, delectable, divine Rosé wines from the Southern French region of Provence.
