Ocean Eight Rosé 2024 from Ocean Eight on the Mornington Peninsula is a pale, dry Rosé Pinot Noir with a distinctly coastal feel – super fresh, quietly fragrant and modelled on high‑end Provence styles rather than lolly‑water pink. This 2024 Ocean Eight Rosé Pinot Noir shows beautiful acidity and freshness, with a colour and stance that scream serious, food‑friendly rosé.

In the glass you’re looking at wild strawberry and watermelon, a whisper of rose petal and Turkish delight, plus a gentle smoky, earthy, savoury edge from the Pinot base. It’s light‑bodied, dry and refreshingly easygoing, with clean flavours, bright acid and a crisp, moreish finish that keeps things firmly in the grown‑up, drink‑another‑glass zone. Made from estate Pinot Noir via the saignée method, it stays elegant, flavoursome, aromatic and delicate.

Food‑wise, Ocean Eight Rose 2024 is built for sunny lunches – think prawns, grilled fish, charcuterie, antipasto, Nicoise‑style salads and sushi, where its dryness and acidity really shine. It’ll also sit beautifully with Mediterranean plates, soft cheeses and picnic spreads, making it a cracking Mornington Peninsula rosé to keep chilled in the fridge all summer.
