Made from Sangiovese, Mataro and Merlot. Previously having an RRP $20, but the team at Fourth Wave Wine have now made this an “On Premesis” exclusive. Which means bistros, restaurants and pubs. Made by FWW’s Nicholas Crampton and the highly regarded Tim Shand from Punt Rd wines.
The Hare & The Tortoise, Rosé, Yarra Valley, 2022
Dusky peach to orange hue. Blood orange, just ripe strawberry hull, earthy rhubarb, dusty breakfast cereal packet, whipped double cream and a little sandalwood. Dry, savoury and offering a neat textural grip. Fruit takes an expected back seat to the structural framework with proper juicy, zingy and refreshing acidity. Designed for food.
RRP: Probably $10 a glass and $32 a bottle in your nearest bistro.
Alc: 12.5%
Rating: 17.25/20 (89/100)
