Gundog Estate Hilltops Rosé 2025

This is undoubtedly one of the better Rosé’s of the year. The winery team moved from their traditional Cabernet Sauvignon-based wine for Rosé, to one of Shiraz supported by Sangiovese. The fruit is entirely from the Freeman vineyards. Skin contact was for just twelve hours. Orange pink in colour, the nose offers aromas weaving through a light dusting of cherries, with spices and strawberries. This is a fresh style which is elegant but not lacking in flavour. There is good balance and excellent length. The finish lingers impressively. A really good Rosé for enjoying over the next two to three years. Love it.
