The 2025 Longview Juno Nebbiolo Rosato is a vibrant and beautifully savoury Adelaide Hills rosé crafted predominantly from the famed 1-11 Nebbiolo clone with a small portion of Pinot Nero for added perfume and finesse. Produced by Longview Vineyard — one of Australia’s leading producers of Italian varieties — the wine is inspired by classic northern Italian rosato styles, combining freshness, texture and Nebbiolo’s trademark fine tannin grip. The dry and early 2025 vintage delivered exceptional fruit intensity and crisp natural acidity, perfectly suited to this bright and energetic style.
The nose reveals orange peel, ripe peach and raspberry layered with musk, spring blossom and subtle star anise spice. On the palate, it is silky, dry and mouthwatering with vibrant acidity and gentle Nebbiolo tannins adding texture and savoury complexity. Layers of maraschino cherry, pink grapefruit and red berry fruit unfold with freshness and precision, finishing long, crisp and beautifully refreshing with unmistakable Italian-inspired character. Critics praised the wine’s savoury structure and crunchy acidity, with reviewers highlighting its “serious” Rosato personality and outstanding drinkability.
Ben’s Recommendation:
The 2025 Longview Juno Nebbiolo Rosato is a seriously stylish rosé — dry, savoury and packed with freshness and personality. Perfect for aperitivo hour, seafood, charcuterie, grilled vegetables, crab, prawns or relaxed summer dining. Serve well chilled and enjoy young for maximum vibrancy and energy.
