The 2024 Le Fauve by Charteris Rosé is a refreshing Australian rosé produced by Charteris Wines, the label established by winemaker PJ Charteris. Crafted in a vibrant, fruit-driven style, this wine offers an appealing combination of delicate red berries, floral aromatics and lively freshness. Its anticipated bouquet reveals fresh strawberries, wild raspberries, watermelon and red cherries, complemented by subtle notes of rose petals, citrus blossom and gentle savoury herbs. The result is an inviting rosé with bright fruit character and an elegant, refreshing personality.
On the palate, it is expected to be light to medium-bodied with crisp acidity and a smooth, delicate texture. Flavours of juicy strawberry, red currant, white peach and pink grapefruit unfold alongside hints of pomegranate, citrus zest and subtle herbal spice. Its fresh berry character is balanced by lively citrus notes, creating a harmonious rosé with freshness and understated complexity. The finish is crisp and refreshing, leaving lingering impressions of summer berries, citrus peel and delicate savoury notes.
