If Killerman’s Run rosé is a classic dry interpretation of a rosé, then its sibling – Second Fiddle – adopts a rounder, more approachable style. It’s versatile, the kind of rosé you need when moving from the aperitif to the table. It suits both roles. It’s inviting, too, from a fruit-forward bouquet of cherry, strawberry, watermelon with just a hint of confection through to a ripe, smooth palate. Just a touch of sweet fruit rounds out the corners. Plenty of life and energy. Not sure why it’s called Second Fiddle as it seems to enjoy greater ambitions.
