International Rosé Day
“Fresh, Floral & Made for Sunshine”
Pale coral colour in the glass and bursting with character, our 2025 Rosato marks the 10th release of this much-loved style.
A blend of Sangiovese (55%) and Nebbiolo (45%), it leans into a distinctly European expression. The nose is lifted and floral, with Turkish Delight and hints of rose water, while the palate brings bright spice and ginger notes, finishing dry with a touch of savoury tannin.
Sourced from Australian vineyards across NSW and Victoria, the fruit captures both freshness and depth. Gentle foot stomping and overnight skin contact build colour and texture, before fermentation largely in stainless steel, with a small portion in old oak.
The result is a Rosato with zesty acidity, minimal residual sugar, and a clean, refreshing finish. Perfect served chilled!
Halliday Recognition
The 2025 vintage continues a remarkable three-year streak of success, with the 2023, 2024 and 2025 vintages all awarded Gold Medal recognition and scoring 95-96 points in the Halliday Wine Companion under the review of Toni Paterson.
This elegant and graceful rosé is the taste of summer, with high tones of spiced lemon and peony accented by subtle crushed strawberries. The palate has the perfect amount of fruit weight and gentle savouriness, and the finish is refreshingly dry.
Pairings and Drink Recommendations
With roots in the classic grape varieties of Western Italy, this Rosato naturally pairs with Italian-inspired fare. Think antipasti, salumi, and grissini, where the wine’s acidity cuts through richness and its savoury edge complements cured meats. It’s equally at home alongside light share plates or enjoyed simply on its own.
Made to be enjoyed in the short to medium term, this is a wine that shines in the moment.
Why Rosato?
Rosato is the Italian interpretation of rosé, much like Provence is synonymous with the French style.
At Brokenwood, our Rosato is crafted from traditional Italian red grape varieties, Sangiovese and Nebbiolo, using classic winemaking techniques that stay true to the style. The result is a crisp, dry wine with vibrant freshness, complemented by greater texture, savoury complexity and structure than a typical Provence-style rosé.
