2023 Sutton Grange Fairbank Rosé

96 POINTS

Halliday Wine Companion - Panel Score

Rosé of the Year. Takes an award-winning style centred around shiraz, cabernet sauvignon and sangiovese and adds splashes of viognier and fiano. The white grapes bring an extra layer of delicate aromatics and body weight to one impressive rosé. Pretty tea-rose hues. Orange blossom, musk, raspberry, cherry, earth and savoury influences wind and roll their way across this stylish wine. Texture and clean acid drive in sync. What a ripper!

This is a little different from previous years though it still fits the ‘pale and dry’ mould. There are bright raspberry and strawberry characters here, with delicious inputs from fennel seed and orange blossom, with earth and plenty of spice notes completing the picture. It’s dry and bright and textural and, basically, excellent to drink.
