Castelli Estate Mount Barker Rose 2022 12 Pack

Mike Bennie - Halliday's Wine Companion

While the back label suggests dry and savoury is the style, there's decent fruitiness here and quite a bit of creaminess and slipperiness to texture. Scents of raspberry and ripe strawberry - straight-up sweet red berries. The palate is more nuanced but also berry laden, with almost a jelly or jam-like sweetness to fruit before the finish tidies it all up with pretty spice and cool acidity. Quite simplistic overall, but genial in its way.
