Rusden Poco Loco Rosé 2024 from Vine Vale in the Barossa is a pale, salmon‑pink summer swill – bright, playful and packed with flavour, yet still nicely dry and refreshing straight from the fridge. It’s exactly the sort of Barossa rosé you want on hand for warm evenings and long lunches.

The nose shows watermelon, guava and crunchy red berries with a whiff of rosewater and pink grapefruit, giving both freshness and perfume. On the palate, a gentle hint of sweetness is quickly balanced by crunchy red‑fruit character, green melon and a touch of spice, finishing dry and unctuous with plenty of flavour but no cloying sugar.

This Rusden Poco Loco Rosé 2024 is spot‑on as an aperitif or with charcuterie, salads, grilled seafood and lighter dishes – anything that plays into its red‑berry, melon and citrus profile while letting that crisp, dry finish refresh the palate.
