Lambrook ALOFT Rosé 2026
AU$25, 12% alcohol, screwcap, Adelaide Hills.
This pale, light, copper-coloured rosé serves strawberry, red cherry, apple and citrus flavours in the cleanest, clearest, most refreshing way possible. It smells bright with red berried fruit but is all mouthwatering and dry on the palate. It’s almost watermelon-like, though with a bit more fruitiness. It’s a lovely option for warm-weather drinking.
