Point the glass to the light and it's a glorious shade of crimson. Dangerously smooth, this is a great barbecue slurp to share around.

Golden Grove Estate Rosé Brosé 2021
You could see this disappear from your glass in pretty quick time. What a delight this is to throw back. A smashing label and a smashing wine.

Golden Grove Estate The Skins Vermentino 2020
Skin contact Vermentino, yet if you were unaware of its make up, you'd think it was a clever take on the variety full stop. The brilliance here is in the making.

Unsung Hero Ansonica 2020
I love different and my eyes lit up when this appeared on my door step. This Ansonica was sourced from the Chalmers vineyard in Mildura, Victoria - those lovely folk are flag bearers for planting emerging varieties. It's the only vineyard in Australia producing this variety, although I'm most happy to be corrected.

Ravens Croft Sagrantino Rosé 2020
A Granite Belt vintage ravaged by the elements saw winemakers seek fruit from other regions. This Sagrantino was sourced from Chalmer's vineyards in Mildura. A tasty wine, it seems to have hit the jackpot with the 'sold out' sign nearly posted - not bad considering it was released not too long ago.

Golden Grove Estate Vermentino 2015
Lots of citrusy aromas driven by lemons. A whiff of lychee and green melon peers through too.
Some of the fruit was barrel fermented, and whilst the texture adds some neat complexity, I can't help but think the fruit has been hemmed in a little and hasn't expressed itself as much as I would have like. A creamy character takes the stage and is nicely balanced with delicate weight.
Drink now with oysters or creamy pasta dishes.
Very good.
