Mattinson review of Howard Park Jeté Rosé NV.

Howard Park Jeté Rosé NV
$48, 12.5% alcohol, DIAM cork, Great Southern.

If ever you wanted evidence that Howard Park’s grand sparkling play – under the name Jeté – is on the right track, this Howard Park Jeté Rosé NV provides it. It’s a beautiful sparkling rosé, and a worthy winner of a Gold Medal at Australia’s 2025 National Wine Show (not to mention its trophy win for Best Sparkling at the West Australian wine show in 2024). Winemaker Nic Bowen really has this wine singing, and tuned to perfection. It tastes shelly, strawberried, and generally complex/flavoursome, and yet it remains racy, which is what you want in fizz. No hesitation in recommending this. 93 points.

When you pick up a wine book and see thousands of top-scoring wines, it’s hard to know which wine to choose. Mattinson guides you through this maze, giving you an honest view of the best Australian wines, the best wine stories, the best wine producers, the best value wines and simply, the best tasting wines. Importantly, Mattinson will tell you about the top-rated wines and also about the underrated wines. In short, Mattinson knows Australian wines inside and out.

Mattinson has been a photo-journalist since 1987. For the past 25 years he’s been a voice that you can trust when you’re looking for the best wines. He’s the only Australian to have won the Australian Wine Communicator of the Year Award more than once. He’s a past winner of a Louis Roederer International Wine Media Award, and is the author of the award-winning book The Wine Hunter. He’s not afraid to put a score beside a wine. But what he’d rather do, is tell you the wine’s story.
