De Bortoli La Bohème Act Two Yarra Valley Dry Pinot Noir Rosé

Capturing elegant fruit focus and savoury texture in a rosé can be a precarious balance. The talented De Bortoli crew have upheld the integrity of a flattering season for pinot noir, while injecting the lingering, dry sophistication of full oak barrel fermentation and lees work. Its pale salmon hue heralds pretty watermelon and rose petal nuances over a core of strawberry and raspberry fruit and savoury notes of sweet tomato. $18 at Cracka.
