Lambrook Rosé 2026
AU$27, 12% alcohol, screwcap, Adelaide Hills.
You don’t generally want rosé to be too elevated, in weight of flavour terms, but this release from Lambrook takes things up just enough. It rolls texture into a frame of apple, cranberry, strawberry and sweet spice flavours, and it extends out through the finish in a way that impresses. The price is more than reasonable. This is very good drinking.
