Howard Vineyard 400 Metre Range Rosé 2025 from the Adelaide Hills High‑altitude Clover Farm site hits the sweet spot between juiciness and restraint – fresh, vivid and very drinkable in the best summer‑session way.

The wine pours a soft salmon‑pink, giving ripe strawberry, raspberry and blueberry aromas laced with subtle clove‑like spice and a savoury herbal whisper. On the palate it’s luscious but dry, layered with fresh strawberry, white cherry and a gentle lick of bramble, held taut with zippy acidity and a light hint of texture from short skin contact; the finish is crisp, dry and juicy rather than heavy.

Serve Howard Vineyard 400 Metre Range Rosé 2025 well chilled with prawn toast, crispy pork belly, fennel‑dressed salads or simple antipasto on the deck – its high‑altitude lift and strawberry‑spice personality makes it a natural for sunny‑weather drinking that remains serious on the palate.
