95 Points – Jeni Port

Over the past couple of years, Tahbilk’s Grenache Mourvèdre Rosé has fast established itself as one of Australia’s most reliable and best value examples of this increasingly popular styles. The 2022 vintage Tahbilk Grenache Mourvèdre Rosé is another cracking example that’s again proved enormously popular over the warmer months.  

Inspired by the great examples of Provence, this 2022 Tahbilk Rosé is made from a blend of Grenache (51%) and Mourvèdre (49%); delivering a dry, vibrant wine of enormous appeal. Lovely aromas of musk, spice and rose blossom lead to a palate bursting with red berry fruits and nice savoury undertones. Another delicious offering from Tahbilk that delivers super value at this discounted price.

“95 Points. Sports the prettiest musk-pink colour, but don’t assume this is a particularly sweet or lightweight rosé. It’s anything but. Fresh, crunchy acidity provides the basis for a display of striking fruit intensity: cherry, cranberry, acacia, pepper, spice. A light spray of juicy sweet fruit brings added succulence and length. Seriously good rosé, whatever the occasion. $22. 12.5% alc. Screwcap”- Jeni Port, winecompanion.com.au.

“Full of life and vitality with white peach, cherry, cranberry, smoked meats, flint strike, peppery rocket/arugula spice and a little sweaty muskiness. Over delivers for the price and appearance. Serious work, with driving acidity offset by good red fruit bursts and a dichotomous dry yet juicy finish. Wants to be poured for seared tuna or beef carpaccio. $21.40 RRP. 12.5% alc. Rating: 18/20 (92/100)”- Regan Drew, vinonotebook.com.
