Fighting Gully Road Rose 2024

Mark Walpole of Fighting Gully Road has an international reputation as a viticulturist, particularly in regard to Italian varietals. Yet the quality of his wines isn’t entirely due to the magnificent quality of his vineyards, but also his excellence as a winemaker. Every single wine from this producer should be sought out, bought and drunk as soon as possible, The 2024 rose shouldn’t be exciting, but it is, and it’s wonderful and delicious. It’s very serious, not at all frivolous, with creamy red fruits, apricots, savoury spice and rose petals. Gripping palate, with fine tannins and a wave of sweet and tangy red fruits, salt and oyster shell. Drinking now to be sure, but a worthy contender for your cellar too. Wonderful stuff.
