Haddow + Dineen Freak Scene Rosé 2022 from Tasmania is a vibrant, characterful pink that blends Pinot Noir and Pinot Gris, with a touch of Ancestrale sparkling used to kick off the ferment for extra lift and freshness. It is made in small batches with a hands‑on, lo‑fi mindset that keeps the wine expressive, textural and intensely Tasmanian.

In the glass, Haddow + Dineen Freak Scene Rosé 2022 is all bright red berries, citrus, soft stone fruit and gentle florals, wrapped in zippy acidity and a lightly savoury, refreshing finish that stays dry and moreish rather than confected. The Pinot Gris component adds mid‑palate weight and a faintly creamy, textural feel, while the Pinot Noir brings colour, perfume and crunch.

Food‑wise, Freak Scene Rosé is built for salty snacks, charcuterie, grilled seafood, salads and picnic platters, where its acidity and subtle grip cut through fat and salt beautifully. It is also a cracking sundowner on its own, nicely chilled, for drinkers who like their rosé dry, a bit wild and full of personality.
