Genista Barossa Valley Island Shiraz Grenache Rosé 2023

Share

A zippy, minerally and silky rosé which is brimming with energy. It first announced itself with brilliant aromas of rose water, red cherry and strawberry, which filled the room. After a while some savoury green pepper and herbs showed themselves. It went exceptionally well with cheese and the tingly minerality makes drinking it a delight, either by itself or with food.
