Australia's Best Rosé REVEALED: Discover which wine just took the top prize at the Sydney Royal Wine Show!
- Replies 7
Are you a fan of rosé wine? Have you ever wondered which ones are considered the absolute best of the best in the country?
A somewhat overlooked variety is becoming increasingly popular in Australia, with many Aussies seeking out the crisp yet bold flavours of the pink-tinted drop.
If you’re looking to try one of Australia’s best rosés, then you’ll be delighted to find out which bottle recently took home a prestigious award at the Sydney Royal Wine Show.
One wine was awarded The Leslie Kemeny Memorial Perpetual Trophy for Best Rosé, making it the official top drop in the country.
A panel of judges had tasted more than 2,200 drops from winemakers across the nation, with the winning bottle being…
Howard Park’s Miamup Rosé 2023!
Described as 'bold, pronounced and irresistible', this family-owned rosé blend–sold for the price of around $30 a bottle–is a combination of white strawberry, watermelon and hibiscus as well as a burst of Meyer lemon and pink grapefruit, raspberry and rhubarb flavours, which ensures a vibrant and juicy acidity on the palate.
In the opinion of many, this Australian rosé did a wonderful job at distinguishing itself amongst the thousands of drops that were tasted and judged by a panel of experts.
The brand’s Chief Winemaker Nic Bowen said it was 'incredible' to see their rosé win such an acclaimed competition, especially in light of the growing popularity of rosé varieties in Australia.
'Rosé has become such a diverse and exciting category, so it’s an honour to have such a distinguished set of judges pick ours from what I imagine was an amazing selection of wines,' Bowen said.
Bowen also emphasised the importance of the quality of the fruit in the production of a top-notch rosé.
'What we do in the winery and in our blending work plays a huge role in the finished wine,' he added.
'With the growing reputation and appreciation for rosé wines in Australia, winemakers have responded with some exciting and delicious examples.'
'And it’s exciting that ours is recognised amongst the best.'
The Sydney Royal Wine Show-winning bottle has already attracted a customer waitlist, so be sure to keep your eye out for this fabulous drop when it hits shelves around late September.
