Garagiste Merricks Rosé 2025 from Mornington Peninsula arrives as a pale, purposeful rosé from winemaker Claire Jensen, fruit pulled from cool coastal vineyards where sea breezes sharpen acidity and preserve perfume; this Merricks Rosé’s provenance and restrained elegance make buying a bottle an assured choice for summer terraces and discerning hosts.

Strawberry skin, watermelon rind and citrus pith perfume the glass with a whisper of thyme and saline lift; bright acidity, fine phenolics and a mouthwatering, dry finish give tense midpalate structure and persistent flavour that rewards chilled service – Garagiste Merricks Rosé ’25 shows clarity and gastronomic focus.

Serve very chilled with lemon‑dressed prawns, goat’s cheese tart or fresh sashimi at alfresco lunches, seaside dinners or aperitif hours where freshness matters; its food versatility and lively charm make purchasing by the bottle or case a smart, no‑regret decision.
