Hat-trick of Halliday wines for Bendigo rosé

Hare’s Chase Barossa Valley Mataro Rosé 2024 scores 92 points from Mike Bennie in WBM. “A pretty rosé that manages to provide some depth and character while sticking to a charter of red berry fruitiness and overall set to dry and savoury in style. Wild raspberry, cherry, cranberry drink and rose hip tea bustle around in this wine. A nice bite of botanicals to finish. Very pleasing stuff.“ $35. @info_hareschase @barossawines #pretty #rosé #pleasing #92 ❤️
Pressed Pinot Noir Rosé Adelaide Hills Single Vineyard 2025 scores 91 points from Tyson Stelzer in WBM. “Mike Press has long crafted one of the best bargain Pinot Noir rosés, and here it is reincarnated as Pressed. Its pale salmon hue anticipates its pretty strawberry, raspberry and morello cherry flavours, accented with guava and pink grapefruit. An elegantly dry style with good fruit weight and just the right acid/phenolic backbone.” $18. @pressedwine @adelaidehillswine #91 #AdelaideHills

De Bortoli PHI Yarra Valley Chardonnay 2021 scores 93 points from Tyson Stelzer in WBM. “In the cool Upper Yarra, the Lusatia Park Vineyard has long been one of De Bortoli’s most elegant sources of Chardonnay. The cool 2021 season has blessed it with tension and refinement, riding a line of grapefruit and lemon, gently supported by subtle, high class French oak.” $34. @debortoliwines @yarravalleywine #Chardonnay #tension #refinement #highclass #93
Clonakilla Canberra District Viognier Nouveau 2025 scores 93 points from Mike Bennie in WBM. “Viognier Nouveau is often a wine to reach to and drink as a yardstick of a season, with 2025 all the talk is about abundant fruit character, pure acidity and finesse of the resulting wines. No skewing from that statement here, this ginger-laced, mineral-charged Viognier delivers just-ripe apricot, green apple, nashi pear and brine in a very uplifting and thirst-quenching style.” $35. @clonakillawines @canberrawines #pure #acidity #finesse #uplifting #CanberraDistrict #Wine ❤️
