2024 Audrey Wilkinson Rose, Hunter Valley

Faint aromas of warm strawberries and fresh cream. The palate has excellent weight, breadth and presence, with juicy red apple flavours shining brightly. A pleasantly understated wine made from merlot and shiraz: soft, slightly juicy, textural and satisfying.
