I was really curious for this rose when i saw it at M&S. I normally do not like new world rose as the alcohol typically kills the wine. But this time I saw on the label 11.5% and was really curries to taste the unusual combination of cab sauv with pinot noir, both my favorite varieties. I was positively surprised, the wine is very nice fruity, dry and light to medium bodied with dominant black current tones in the nose and taste followed by cherries in the taste. It is quite nice rose from Australia.
