Local rosé
Friends of Rufus Rosé
Hunter Valley, NSW.
Vibrant in character, Friends of Rufus Rosé (209896) is a subtle hybrid of vivacious fruity flavours, combined with an understated dryness. Bright pink and red berry fruits, with a hint of rose water aromatics, combine for a perfect balance. The elegance on the palate suits the rich texture and understated flavour of beef carpaccio with an Australian twist. Serve alongside tangy quandong slices, goat’s curd and a garnish of small, colourful botanical petals for a vibrant and delicious pairing.
International rosé
Kaapzicht Family Range Pinotage Rosé
Stellenbosch, SOUTH AFRICA.
Beautifully aromatic and refreshing, Kaapzicht Family Range Pinotage Rosé (209400) contains 10% sauvignon blanc grapes for a hint of dryness and acidity that lends itself to lighter meals. An abundant bouquet of strawberry and cotton candy is accompanied by subtle rose petal and herbaceous undertones on the nose. Enjoy alongside a fresh seasonal salad or lightly spiced Asian fish recipes like pla neung manao.
