MIKE’S WINE NOTES:
Mike Davies – Co-founder Greenskin Wine, winemaker and wine packaging specialist.
Once again, the masterful winemakers at Naturaliste Vintners, Bruce Dukes and Remi Guise have exceeded our expectations, crafting the prettiest wine we have ever released.
Our 2024 Rosé, made from Grenache grapes grown in the northern end of the esteemed Wilyabrup sub-region of Margaret River, is a true testament to the unique terroir of the region. The vineyards benefit from the cooling breezes where the Indian Ocean meets the Southern Ocean, creating an ideal microclimate for growing high-quality grapes. These natural influences impart a distinct freshness and vibrancy to the wine, enhancing its overall appeal.
The wine’s lightness and freshness are beautifully balanced against the intensity of the Grenache fruits’ savoury and mineral characteristics.
Notes of fresh apple, delicate florals, and a subtle hint of spice intermingle with crisp acidity, resulting in a wine that is both refreshing and satisfying. This harmonious blend creates a complex and intriguing flavour profile that delights the palate with every sip.
- Colour: Very pale pink and onion skin.
- Nose: Fresh apples, guava and perfumed flowers.
- Palate: Leading with a melange of raw guava, apples, and strawberries, this wine has a beautiful savoury middle palate and a clean and fresh chalky finish.
This wine is a perfect example of elegance and sophistication, and we are very excited to share it with you!
HUON’S WINE NOTES:
Huon Hooke is a leading Australian wine writer, critic, educator and show judge, best known for his columns in Sydney Morning Herald Good Food and Good Weekend.
Light, bright purple-tinted colour of a very young rosé. Blackcurrant bonbon aroma, sweetly ripe and bright, clean and fresh, the palate likewise with appetising dryness enhanced by a slight grip, and the flavour lingers on well. A rosé that calls for food, eg charcuterie.
88/100 points – Bronze Medal Winner.

Great tasing wine and loved the convenience of the pouches when travelling. So much easier than carting bottles and the easy post pack for returning the empties makes it even better. Will definitely buy these wines again.

This Rosé was excellent, dry but not too dry. I’m travelling through Northwest WA at the moment and have limited storage and access to my fave Rosé’s. This one is now a new fave!! Re-ordering again today!
