2024 Brokenwood Rosato, NSW & VIC

It is made from sangiovese and nebbiolo from NSW and Victoria, with foot-stomping used on specific parcels. Super classy, bright and dry with picture-perfect colour and a weighty, satisfying palate. The persistence of the flavours truly sets it apart. Partial old oak fermentation adds nuances of savoury complexity. It is refined, great value and delicious.

Brokenwood Rosato is a vibrant, dry rosé crafted from a blend of New South Wales and Victorian fruit, bringing together freshness, fragrance and finesse in a lively, modern style. Designed for pure enjoyment, this wine is all about fruit brightness and crisp texture without any heaviness or sweetness.

The fruit is picked early to preserve natural acidity and gently pressed to extract delicate colour and aroma. Fermented cool in stainless steel and bottled early, it’s a wine that captures the essence of summer in a glass.

Aromas of wild strawberries, blood orange, pink grapefruit and rosewater leap from the glass. The palate is fresh and zippy with a burst of red berries, pomegranate and citrus zest, balanced by a dry, clean finish.

Perfect with grilled prawns, watermelon salad, goat’s cheese tart or just a warm afternoon and good company. Best enjoyed young while its energy and lift are at their peak.
