Description
Charles Melton “Rose of Virginia” rosé 2023
Australia’s greatest rosé.
The 2022 installment of this wine received a massive 97/100 points from Halliday which made it more highly rated than the current vintage of the iconic Charles Melton “Nine Popes” GSM! That is an absolutely ringing endorsement of this wine that makes the more common style of rosé out there seem pathetically bland and anaemic in comparison. And make no mistake, this is NOT sweet, despite its deeper colour, but it has serious depth of flavour and character with a beautiful aura of dark fruit, spice, and savoury compexity. Surely one of Australia’s greatest rosés and one of very few made in an unashamedly Australian style, rather than those pale imitations of even paler rosé from Provence (AKA the most overpriced rosé region in France!).
Screw cap. 12.5%. Drink now to 2030.
