2011 De Bortoli La Boheme Act Two Dry Pinot Rosé

Posted on December 11, 2011 by Jeremy Pringle

When I tasted the 2010 release of this it had an element of novelty on its side – old oak and lees stirring along with a little Pinot Gris added an exotic touch. It’s interesting to come back to such a wine … Continue reading →

2011 Bespoke Bros. Heathcote Rosé

Posted on November 11, 2011 by Jeremy Pringle

This rather spiffing wine is made by writer Nick Stock in collaboration with Gilles Lapalus of Sutton Grange fame. It’s Mourvèdre based and definitively pale in the glass. Reminiscent of the famous Domaine Tempier Rosés of Bandol – not just in … Continue reading →

2011 Chapel Hill il Vescovo Sangiovese Rosé

It seems like we’ve well and truly hit Rosé weather here in Brisbane. I prefer to drink ‘em on holidays but weekends work well too. Chapel Hill’s version is dry and extremely pale with the emphasis firmly on texture over flavour…I … Continue reading →
