About Chalmers Rosato 750ml
Chalmers Rosato is a beautifully crafted Italian-variety rosé from the Heathcote region of Victoria, Australia, likely made from Sangiovese, Aglianico, or other southern Italian cultivars that the Chalmers family champions. The nose is bright and inviting, offering lifted aromas of wild strawberry, dried rose petals, and blood orange zest, with a subtle savouriness reminiscent of sun-dried tomato and fresh herbs. On the palate, the wine is crisp and lively with vibrant acidity, delivering flavours of pomegranate, red cherry, and watermelon rind. A gentle mineral thread runs through the mid-palate, lending texture and complexity beyond what you'd expect from a rosé. The finish is clean, dry, and refreshingly long, with a lingering citrus and herb note that invites another sip.
