Who better to ask what’s trending in the vino world right now than knowledgeable wine buffs at restaurants, bars and wineries around Australia?
Welcome to our ‘Wine of the Week’ series, where we highlight particular wines on the radar of restaurants around the country.
Situated on the famed Cambrian-era soils of Heathcote, Sanguine Estate on Shurans Lane is an ideal location to soak up scenic views and enjoy a taste of unspoilt flavours. Established in 1996 and producing the first vintage in 2000, Sanguine’s family run award-winning boutique winery aptly reflects a passion for natural winemaking, taking place within flourishing surrounds.
More than 50 acres of thriving vines are the backbone behind Sanguine’s range, lovingly crafted into memorable drops including Shiraz, Chardonnay, Tempranillo, Rosé and Cabernet. At the RED five-star James Halliday-rated winery and cellar door, you’ll be greeted by one of the Hunter family to enjoy tastings of highly-awarded wines.
Try Sanguine’s 2022 Rosé – beautiful salmon pink in colour, this wine boasts ripe red apples and a hint of strawberry, with an appealing lift of florals, derived from the inclusion of Merlot.
Ripe, juicy apple and strawberry dominate up front while the finish is deliciously soft with a refreshing texture; utterly drinkable now, this could quickly become your go-to rosé for a hot Summer’s Day.
Perhaps pair this tasty drop with fresh salmon carpaccio, soft cheese such has brie or a vegetarian pizza.
