Ox Hardy Blewitt Springs Grenache Cinsault Rose 2025

93 POINTS

Marcus Ellis - Halliday Wine Companion

A new wine in the stable, made from cinsault off 1947-planted vines and young-vine grenache, planted by the Ox himself. A flavour-intense wine, built on a familiar foundation of rose gold presentation and fresh fruitfulness. A decent time on lees in tank has gifted texture, a mid-palate ease, with the flavour explosive through the back. Raspberry and cranberry, pink pashmak, watermelon, summer roses. It’s seductive in its generosity but also refreshingly structured with faint grip and vigorous acidity.

Erin Larkin - Robert Parker Wine Advocate

The 2025 Grenache Cinsault Rosé is a pale flamingo hue in the glass and leads with an abundance of exotic spices and red berries on the nose. This is savory and dry, with attractive freshness making it perfect for summer. It is really good. 12.5% alcohol, sealed under screw cap.

Campbell Mattinson - The Wine Front

Rosé made with grenache and cinsault grapes, grown in the Blewitt Springs sub-region of McLaren Vale. Yes. Like this. Ultra juicy, racy style of rose with apple, strawberry, watermelon and tart red cherry flavours darting throughout. It carries good flavour and within a dry, juicy context it’s more-ish.
