The Gundog Estate still has the 2017 for sale and guaranteed that will have some depth. Give them a call if you’re after the 2018. Made from Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz grapes from two vineyards in the Canberra region. Note. The bottle image label has 2017, but naught has changed save the vintage roll.

Gundog Estate, Rosé, Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz, Canberra, 2018

A punchy little number this one. Smoky spice over cherry and watermelon, kissed by Turkish Delight (rosewater/choc) with a pink quartz rock stony line. Bright and fresh red fruits, backed by spice. Grips well as it passes through the mid palate. Well textured and a balanced tail of flavour showing good detail.
