The 2026 Punt Road Rosé is a refreshing Australian rosé from the Yarra Valley in Victoria, produced by Punt Road Wines. Reflecting the region's cool-climate conditions, this wine offers a delicate balance of vibrant red fruit, floral aromatics and crisp acidity. Its anticipated aromas reveal fresh strawberries, wild raspberries, watermelon and white peach, complemented by subtle notes of rose petals, citrus blossom and gentle spice.
On the palate, it is expected to be light to medium-bodied with lively acidity and a smooth, refreshing texture. Flavours of juicy strawberry, red cherry, pink grapefruit and white nectarine unfold alongside hints of citrus zest and delicate savoury herbs. Its bright fruit character is balanced by an elegant, dry style, leading to a clean, refreshing finish with lingering notes of summer berries and citrus peel.
