Yalumba, Australia’s oldest family-owned winery, has a Barossa Grenache Rosé that’s perfectly timed for the warmer months. Recently awarded a gold medal and 96 points in the National Liquor News Rosé Trade Buyer’s Guide, it continues to resonate with customers looking for a rosé that delivers both quality and provenance from a name they already know and love.
Buyer’s Guide judge Nick Harris praised the wine as a “stunner with a complex nose, refreshing acidity and mouthfeel with a lingering finish of minerality, stone fruit and citrus”.
Crafted from newly established Grenache vineyards in the heart of the Barossa, the wine captures the essence of its unique terroir. Grapes are harvested at their ideal ripeness and wild-fermented, creating a vivid salmon-hued rosé with aromas of peach, strawberry and musk. The palate is bright and juicy, bursting with watermelon, cranberry and blood orange, finishing crisp, refreshing and moreish.
“Grenache is the heart and soul of the Barossa,” says Sam Wigan, Yalumba Head of Winemaking. “This rosé is about showing its lighter, more playful side – bright, juicy and perfect for summer enjoyment.”
Rosé continues to grow in popularity, particularly among younger drinkers and casual wine consumers who seek lighter, food-friendly wines. Perfectly placed to meet that demand, this wine offers strong consumer appeal at an accessible price point, while delivering healthy margins for retailers. Its vibrant flavour profile makes it a natural pairing for summer foods, from tomato-basil bruschetta to fresh seafood and light salads.
For summer, Yalumba’s Barossa Grenache Rosé is a provenance-led, must-stock wine to drive incremental sales. With its Gold medal and 96-point rating in the Rosé Trade Buyer’s Guide, it’s a standout on the shelf and an easy recommendation for consumers seeking quality rosé. RRP $28.
