Description
The second release of MMAD's Rosé is a sophisticated field blend of Grenache, Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Chenin Blanc - all grown from this impressive Blewitt Springs vineyard.
Aromas of jasmine, blood orange, and Campari spice lead the way, followed by bright red fruits that leap out of the glass. The palate is dry, with layers of fruit balanced by vibrant acidity and a fine pithy grip on the finish.
With a refined texture and excellent balance, this is a seriously conceived and seriously good modern rosé. Another feather in the cap for this ascendant McLaren Vale label.

"lifted herbal notes of cabernet again lead the aromatics, but the colour has been dialled down to a classic coral pink. Grenache lends red-fruited detail and floral lilt. There’s spice, too. And flavour and texture aplenty. That’s also like the 2023, but here the balance, detail and vibrancy are much more finely tuned. Excellent."

"That extra linger of flavour, that extra smidgen of texture. This is a lovely rosé. Orange oil, cranberry, strawberry and seaspray characters edge into nashi pear, pepper and woodsmoke. It feels effortless as it presents a full flan of flavours. Love. This."
- Campbell Mattinson (The Wine Front)
