Calling all Rosé freaks! NYG Rosé magnums are back! Start the party right with these ultra-limited part starters before they're sold out again! (Only 250 limited-edition magnums available).
We drove the spectacular 2024 release (our fave so far of all!) from bottling line to its first wine show judging and were rewarded with Silver on debut!
Made from handpicked Old Vine Barossa Grenache and Mourvèdre... with a dash of Eden Valley whites for X-factor. It's aromatic, juicy and dry, but laden with Old Vine Grenache gives an impression of subtle sweetness. Picked early to give it some slick texture, this wine sings when enjoyed with Pho Bo, Sticky Ribs, Chilli Snapper, a smorgasboard of tidbits, or simply your favourite friend(s). Rosé all day vibes.

92pts "I think we can safely say that the name here is spot on. Definitely not. In fairness, my grandmother, rest her soul, thought all alcohol was Satan's soda and would send us to the very hot place without so much as a single genuflection (sadly, she was not alone among my relatives in holding that view). So, definitely not my grandmother's Rosé. The blend is old vine Grenache and Mourvedre, both ideally suited for use in quality Rose. The Grenache was picked early to provide a vibrancy to the texture. The colour is a gentle and alluring pink. The nose is delightfully fragrant with spices, red fruits, strawberries, rose petals and a hint of honeycomb. A touch of lavender and even a hint of Turkish Delight. Clean and fresh with good energy and decent length, this will provide simple but delicious drinking for the next few years (although not for certain members of my family)" - SA Wine Guide 2025
92pts "Incredibly pale hue, even bordering onion skin. Some signature pinkness: Crushed rose petals, powderpuff, Turkish Delight. Hints of musk and red cherries. Peach stone fruit, lemon drop citrus and a herby nuance like strawberry top and capped off with an incredible freshness. Some pink fruit sweet focus for this release that borders on confectionary, before being pulled back into line with fine acidity and a very god presence. I've said it before and I say it again, this is fun…but there's some good quality fruit and winemaking underneath that makes it very good value." - Regan Drew, Vino Notebook
91pts "Earthy notes of wet stones temper the red fruits; rosehip and red cherries. This is not a simple rosé. The nose is interwoven with subtle savoury and sweet notes, a gush of flavour greets you on the palate; watermelon, strawberry and tangy rosehip. Its feathery texture delights: this is a deadly drinkable rosé" - Gabrielle Poy, The Real Review

92pts "Pale salmon in the glass with the lightest of copper washes and notes of blood orange, redcurrant and raspberry alongside hints of wildflowers, stone and dried citrus rinds, while Turkish delight is back in the distance. Savoury and lipsmacking in its delivery on the palate, with plenty of minerally drive and energy, there is a lot to like here." - Regan Drew, Vino Notebook

GOLD Medal + 95pts "Bright, juicy even and pure. Very light on its feet, elegant but pure" - Royal Adelaide Wine Show
GOLD Medal + 95pts "Pale pink, good fruit ripeness, bright, fresh and silky Soft entry and varietal is distinct, fresh with slightly sweet finish" - Royal Melbourne Wine Show
GOLD Medal + 95pts - New World Wine Awards NZ
93pts "Pale salmon in the glass with notes of redcurrant, raspberry, blood orange and red cherry wrapped in the embrace of some high-toned blossom flourishes along with hints of marzipan and crushed stone and maybe some Turkish delight further in the distance. Snappy and tight on the palate with a touch of tangerine peel and soft spice entering the mixing as the wine finishes crisp and vital thanks to a seam of shimmering acidity. Pretty hard to put this one down" - Halliday Wine Companion
90pts "This is fresh and crunchy with nectarines, pink cherries and rose petals on the nose. Medium-bodied, clean and polished with a delicious stone fruit character and sleek, mineral finish" - James Suckling

GOLD Medal - Melbourne International Wine Challenge
91pts "A light salmon-pink colour. A nose of thyme, raspberry, and fresh pastries. Sweet red fruits on the palate-entry meld into a hint of herbs and supple spices. There's a weight and density that sets this up as a food-friendly style. The acidity is soft yet guides it long." - Stuart Knox, The Real Review
91pts "It's pale copper-orange in colour and it's both spicy and textural to taste. It has a core of raspberry and earth-like flavour with top notes of orange jelly and violet. It's both as refreshing and as delicious as you'd want and hope it to be." - Campbell Mattinson, The Wine Front

2019
92pts "Faint strawberry, cherry notes, sweet blood orange characters. Slick texture, good finish, glides and refreshes, everything very gentle and even. Rose 101, maybe a bit more advanced, but has that huge drinkability feel. Right on." - Mike Bennie, The Wine Front
90pts "Bright, light, fresh pink colour with purple tints, the bouquet fresh, clean, brightly aromatic and alluring. The wine is soft and fruity, balanced and shaped to suit a lot of people's palates. A tickle of sweetness is well managed. A lovely everyday rosé. It was obviously very early-picked, but there is no greenness." - Huon Hooke, The Real Review
2017
92pts + Red Star (Value) "In perfect drinking shape. Dry, racy with acidity and flavoursome at once. Raspberry and rosehip with cuts of apple and anise. Gets you in a mind for food." - Campbell Mattinson, Halliday Wine Companion
2016
92pts "A pale pink-salmon colour that excites as much as the flavours of musk, rose hip, raspberries and cherries with lemon sorbet-like acidity and a lick of sweetness to finish." - Jane Faulkner, Halliday Wine Companion
2015
91pts "Grenache and mourvedre. Slight spritz. Funk, earth, spice and leather, with cranberry/raspberry fruit crashing over the top. Loads up but then finishes dry. It works." - Campbell Mattinson, Halliday Wine Companion
2014
90pts "69% old vine grenache, 29% old vine mourvedre and 2% gewurztraminer, riesling and weisser herold. Fragrant and fruity, the power of suggestion of the 2% giving some citrus, offset by perceptible residual sugar (7.3g/l), in turn balanced by low pH; the other fruit flavours are in the red spectrum, but not particularly intense." - Halliday Wine Companion
