The 2025 Mulline Rosé is a beautifully poised cool-climate rosé from Geelong, crafted by acclaimed winemaker Ben Mullen from a blend of 85% Shiraz, 10% Pinot Noir and 5% Pinot Gris sourced from the Moorabool Valley and Surf Coast. Barrel fermented and matured on full lees for four months, the wine combines vibrant fruit with impressive texture while maintaining exceptional freshness. Pale salmon in colour, the nose is wonderfully expressive, revealing aromas of wild strawberry, red currant and red apple skin layered with citrus pith, Mediterranean herbs, delicate floral notes and a subtle hint of spice, creating an elegant and distinctly Provençal-inspired style.
On the palate, it is light to medium-bodied with crisp natural acidity, a silky mouthfeel and a beautifully dry finish. Bright red berry fruit is complemented by orange zest, gentle savoury complexity and a refreshing mineral edge, finishing long, pithy and impeccably balanced. Fresh yet textural, this is a sophisticated Australian rosé that delivers remarkable finesse and drinkability, earning 96 points from the Halliday Wine Companion for its outstanding quality and value.
Ben’s Recommendation:
The 2025 Mulline Rosé is an elegant, dry and beautifully textured rosé that shines as both an aperitif and a versatile food wine. Pair it with grilled salmon, prawns, lamb cutlets, charcuterie, Mediterranean salads or soft goat's cheese. Enjoy well chilled now through 2029 while its vibrant fruit, savoury complexity and refreshing finish are at their peak.
