David McWilliam Mistletoe T-Rosé 2025
AU$28, 12.8% alcohol, screwcap, Hunter Valley.
Rosé made with Hunter Valley shiraz grapes.
It’s a pale pink-crimson colour, it’s flush with strawberry-driven flavours, it carries sweet spice notes as highlights and comes with flashes of citrus and cream too. Everything is in good order here; everything is served fresh and vivid. It drinks effortlessly as a result.
