Sangiovese Grenache Rosé 2026 - New Vintage

The critical trick to a fine Rosé lies in the timing; too early and there’s no flavour, too late and you have made a red wine. This is definitely one that keeps us on our toes and it’s not often that there’s a block more walked during vintage than our Sangiovese. Thankfully it’s worth all the walking!

Winemaker's Notes

The Sangio from Church can tend toward exuberance in both flavour and colour – making it easy to accidentally create a table wine where a rose was the intention. We temper this tendency with a healthy dose of fruit from Digs Vineyard – a higher and cooler site yielding more delicate flavours; making the tremendous balance in this wine possible.

Bouquet & Palate

Strawberries; fresh cut and lush. Nectarine flesh. A dew-covered profusion of fruit at its wild best. Apple blossom blooms into ripe pink ladies. Shifting shades of fennel; wild notes among blueberries, linen, lemongrass, cherry stone, and watermelon. Gymnast taut. Finishing with a kick of acid zest, lively and spry.

Food Match

Delicate flavours match this delicate wine – perhaps a pear, parmesan, and walnut salad?
