Krinklewood Francesca Rosé 2024 by Krinklewood Estate from McLaren Vale is a delicately pale, impossibly dry and intriguingly textural rosé – French‑approved, picnic‑ready and designed to whisk you straight to Provence.

This Krinklewood Francesca Rosé 2024 is crafted from Mourvèdre and Merlot, showing soft rose petals, ripe strawberries and fragrant citrus blossoms on the nose, plus wild strawberry, rosewater, white peach and grapefruit zest. The palate is crisp, tight and bright, bone‑dry and refreshing, with fine mineral edge, subtle red‑berry fruit and beautiful, lingering acidity.

Food‑wise, it’s a dream with picnic platters, Niçoise‑style salads, grilled prawns, soft cheeses, charcuterie or simple tomato‑and‑herb flatbreads – that dry, mineral line and red‑berry perfume make it hugely versatile. Francesca Rosé 2024 is joyous, beautiful and delicious, and has been recognised as a top‑value New South Wales rosé by leading critics.
