Emmalene Sparkling Pinot Noir Rosé 2023 by Emmalene from the Adelaide Hills is a pale‑pink, seriously refreshing Blanc de Noir that nails the brief for everyday celebrations – bright, juicy and just polished enough to impress without trying too hard. In the glass it’s delicately coloured with a fine stream of bubbles and inviting aromas of grapefruit, green apple, fresh strawberries and raspberries, backed by a soft touch of roasted almond and brioche.

From first sip you get bright red fruit with citrus – strawberries, raspberries and cherry – plus a playful hint of fairy floss, all carried on crisp acidity and a gentle touch of sweetness. The bubbles are fine and creamy, the palate clean and zippy rather than sharp, and the red‑berry fruit stays juicy right through to a refreshing, dry finish that makes Emmalene Sparkling Pinot Noir Rosé 2023 dangerously easy to keep topping up.

This is tailor‑made for summer catch‑ups – picnics, beach days, charcuterie boards, sushi or a simple spread of cheese and crackers – and it’s spot‑on for mixed‑case gifting when you want Adelaide Hills bubbles with personality and broad appeal. Pop it well chilled as your first bottle at a long lunch or as the “fun” option for casual weeknight celebrations.
