Tomich Hilltop Pinot Rose 2026
AU$28, 12.5% alcohol, screwcap, Adelaide Hills.
Bang on. Beautiful rosé. It’s exactly what you’re hoping for: perfume, fruit, a lick of spice, a clear impression of dryness but a juiciness too. It’s all strawberries, floral and set with woodsy spice notes and from start to finish it feels both immaculate and more-ish. Yes please. Bring on summer.
