About Ben Murray Rose Marananga 2022
This Barossa Valley rosé from Ben Murray opens with a vibrant and inviting nose of freshly crushed strawberries, dried rose petals, and white peach, underpinned by a subtle savouriness that speaks to the sun-drenched Marananga subregion. On the palate, it is bright and textural with a lovely mid-palate weight, delivering flavours of watermelon, raspberry coulis, and a hint of blood orange zest. The wine shows admirable restraint for a Barossa rosé, with crisp natural acidity keeping everything lively and focused. The finish is clean and refreshing, with a lingering mineral salinity and a whisper of dried herb that adds complexity and length.
