Ros Ritchie Shiraz Rosé 2024 from Victoria’s high‑country is an estate‑grown, pretty rose‑pink wine that delivers more flavour and spice than its delicate colour suggests, while still finishing fine, dry and refreshing. You’ll see red berry and cherry aromas with a little rose petal, gentle leafiness and a sprinkle of peppery spice, all sitting in a bright, vibrant frame. On the palate it’s light to medium bodied with delicious depth of fruit, a savoury twist and crisp acidity giving a clean, mouth‑watering finish.

This is the sort of shiraz rosé that loves a bit of chill and a sunny afternoon – perfect with grazing boards, charcuterie, grilled chicken skewers or a classic tomato and basil salad. It will also handle a bit of spice nicely, so think Mediterranean plates or mildly spiced Asian salads rather than anything too fiery. Pour Ros Ritchie Shiraz Rosé 2024 as your go‑to spring and summer pink for Adelaide‑style long lunches.

Part of the appeal here is the gentle handling – estate‑grown fruit, picked in mid‑March, whole‑bunch pressed and cool‑fermented to keep the colour delicate and the palate fine and lively. Ros Ritchie Shiraz Rosé 2024 brings that cool‑climate poise the winery is known for, wrapping shiraz flavour in a crisp, dry rosé style that’s extremely easy to come back to.
