Hewitson Belle Ville Rosé Mourvèdre 2024 by Hewitson from the Barossa Valley is a pale, Provençal‑style rosé that’s light, breezy and beautifully dry – exactly the sort of Aussie pink you want on the table for long, lazy lunches. It’s 100% Mourvèdre, named after the house where the Hewitsons lived in Provence, so it leans hard into that classic Mediterranean vibe.

Aromas roll out fragrant strawberry, raspberry, cranberry and redcurrant with summer petals, citrus and a dusting of dried herbs. On the palate you get light red fruits, strawberries‑and‑cream and wild raspberry over bright, mouth‑watering acidity and a smooth, gently creamy texture, finishing crisp, savoury and very moreish.

This Belle Ville Rosé Mourvèdre 2024 is superb with Niçoise salad, grilled prawns, salt‑and‑pepper squid, charcuterie or herby roast chicken, and it absolutely shines with tomato‑based salads and Mediterranean plates. It’s a classy yet easy‑going Barossa‑meets‑Provence rosé that disappears quickly once opened.
