Swinney Rosé 2025

I can hear it — the sound of pink paradigms shifting. Finally, Here’s hoping the future brings a global annihilation of cheap, stripped-back Rosé, replaced by serious, Australian-made wines like this. Made from Mourvèdre, skill, and rolled-up sleeves. In the mouth (not sure why that sounds sensual, but it fits), the weight and concentration make their debut — and don’t disappoint. Musk, torn orange blossom and pumpkin pie. Aromas become flavours and carry through to a long, persuasive finish. A wine to pour proudly for your highbrow friends — or better yet, for those who need their fancy-Rosé cherry popped.
