Summer Rose Six Pack

Versatility and value are watchwords of many well-made rosés. Made from a wide range of varieties, in an array of delicate shades these six are an ‘everyday’ pleasure for fans of both red and white. Save $51 at $14.49 a bottle. Cherry-laced Montepulciano is the star grape of central Italy’s Abruzzo, and the Farinelli family make good use of it in their succulent Rosato. Here at home, Shiraz comes to the party in two beauties: Willow & Goose from McLaren Vale and Gold-winning Reschke R, with aromas of rose petal, strawberry, satsuma plum and crisp cherry, from the Limestone Coast. Langhorne Creek’s much-lauded fruit quality is shown off in Gold-medal Hummingbird’s pure Merlot. Claymore’s Birdhouse of the Soul, from the Clare Valley, is a rarity based on Riesling – with a dash of Mataro for colour. It’s aromatic and offers well-balanced citrus and berry fruit – and scores of 94, 92 and 90pts! Versatility is epitomised by the flavour-packed Grenache-based 16 Little Black Pigs... And as for value – these, available from $12.99 a bottle – are a steal!
