2023 Cobaw Ridge Il Pinko Rosé
Some people don't take rosé very seriously - and think it can't command a higher price. We think this wine proves them spectacularly wrong. Elegant, crystalline, almost slippery on the palate - there's ripe red fruits, raspberry, strawberry, red cherry with alpine herbs, and pink kampot pepper. It's such a pleasurable drink - something for Christmas seafood and boxing day turkey sandwiches. A great wine to gift, or to share with those who might be a bit more conservative in their wine choices? This will win over even the coldest of hearts.
Matured in Qvevri and another ceramic vessel.
Estate grown, organic and biodynamic. Drink it now, or hold it for a few years in your wine fridge.
