The 2025 Nocturne SR Rosé is a vibrant Margaret River rosé crafted predominantly from Sangiovese, with a small portion of Tempranillo adding texture and complexity. Sourced from the Carbunup sub-region, where warm days and red sandy soils help develop expressive fruit flavours, this wine opens with aromas of wild strawberry, pink grapefruit and white cherry, alongside hints of dried herbs, white flowers and subtle spice. It is a finely detailed rosé that balances freshness with genuine texture and depth.
On the palate, it is light-bodied with bright natural acidity and a silky, textural mouthfeel. Flavours of red berries, watermelon, grapefruit and citrus peel are complemented by a gentle chalky grip and savoury mineral notes. Extended lees contact and a small component of barrel-fermented Tempranillo contribute additional complexity, while the finish remains crisp, dry and refreshing with excellent length and balance.
Ben's Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is a fantastic rosé for those who enjoy a more refined and food-friendly style rather than overtly fruity expressions. Fresh, vibrant and beautifully balanced, it is drinking exceptionally well now and over the next 2–3 years. Pair with grilled prawns, kingfish sashimi, charcuterie, goat's cheese salads or Mediterranean-inspired dishes.
