94 / 100"Red fruit and tangerine, a little perfume and spice – maybe a subtle sort of a curry leaf or lemongrass thing happening. Soft but with nice grip and crunch to texture, a fine chalkiness, subdued but kind of juicy red fruit with a fresh finish of good length, a dash of savoury complexity as it goes. Lovely."

"There are a number of wines I return to every year. They’ve never let me down, and we remain the best of friends. Turkey Flat rosé makes that list. Salmon pink with grenache at its core, it is just wonderful drinking; redcurrants and raspberry and wildflower top notes. Just a slink of texture too, filling out the palate before bright acidity tightens, bringing all back into line for a nervy, refreshing exit.”"

Tasting Notes
Turkey Flat has created a style crafted with clear purpose to shift perceptions, demonstrating that Australian Rose can be a fine wine and that Barossa is well-placed to be its source. Grenache is the star of the wine and is picked in multiple parcels across the vintage to provide components for a wine that is a masterclass in blending. This is the 30th release of the Turkey Flat Rosé. This wine was first made during a time when Rosé was an anathema in a region becoming world renowned for big, bold Shiraz. Turkey Flat created a style crafted with clear purpose to shift perceptions, demonstrating that Australian Rosé can be a fine wine and that the Barossa is well-placed to be its source.

Grenache is the star of the wine and is picked in multiple parcels across the vintage to provide components for a wine that is a masterclass in blending. The Turkey Flat Rosé is the result of nearly thirty years of refinement in technique. Their style has become archetypal of Australian Rosé, with fresh, aromatic fruit, florals and spice on the nose, satisfying body and texture on the palate, and a clean, savoury-shift on the finish.
