Vanguardist Blewitt Springs Rosé 2025 is a remarkable expression of refined Australian rosé, showcasing the exceptional quality of Grenache and Syrah grapes from the renowned Rende vineyard in Blewitt Springs. Now in its second release, this wine exemplifies how rosé can be both elegant and complex, moving beyond the typical summer wine stereotype.
Crafted by Michael Corbett, the fruit is predominantly sourced from old vines, carefully foot-crushed and cold settled overnight. The fermentation process utilizes a combination of stainless steel, concrete, and ceramic egg vessels, each contributing unique layers of texture and depth to the final wine. This meticulous approach results in a dry, savoury rosé with a finely structured profile.
Bright and inviting on the palate, the 2025 vintage reveals vibrant notes of grapefruit, pomegranate, fresh herbs, and subtle spice. These flavors are beautifully balanced by a crisp acidity that lends energy and freshness, making it both immediately approachable and capable of graceful evolution with time.
Critically acclaimed for its complexity and purity, this rosé has been praised for taking the category seriously. As noted by respected wine critic Gary Walsh, the previous vintage was "beautifully made," highlighting the wine's dedication to quality and detail. This release continues that tradition, delivering incredible complexity and a harmonious balance that makes it a deliciously easy-drinking rosé.
