Winery notes (2023 Vintage)
"A lusciously refreshing wine with aromas of raspberries and watermelon combined with a dark cherry dry finish – dry style, stunning flavours.
Mondillo Rosé contains 100% Pinot Noir grapes from a defined parcel of the vineyard grown specifically for our Rosé. The single clone selected offers this wine red fruit flavours with a mid-palate lusciousness and fruit sweetness. Our Rosé fruit was de-stemmed with the juice left on the skins for 48 hours to establish the vibrant raspberry-pink colour and then gently pressed."
5 Stars Michael Cooper (2023 Vintage)
"The attractive, energetic 2023 vintage was made from Pinot Noir, estate-grown at Bendigo. Bright pink, it is fragrant and vibrantly fruity, with strong red berry, watermelon and strawberry flavours, slightly spicy notes, and a lingering, dry (4.1 grams/litre of residual sugar), finely poised finish. Best drinking mid-2024+."
Rated Excellent & 93/100 Cameron Douglas MS, October 2023 (2023 Vintage)
"A vibrant dark rose hue leads to a bouquet of raspberries and dark red skinned cherries, some black currant and velvet roses. Youthful and very expressive. On the palate the story is the same with flavours of red berries and roses, some forest berries and mineral soil qualities. Acidity adds a lively textures, some super fine fruit tannins offer contrast and mouthfeel. Delicious, fresh, dry and well made. Best drinking from late 2023 through end of summer 2026."

"Immensely charming, this is seriously good. The elegantly fragrant bouquet shows red apple raspberry, floral and subtle spice aromas, leading to a succulent palate that's beautifully rounded and flowing. It's wonderfully framed by fleshy texture and refreshing acidity, finishing textural and delicious. At its best: now to 2025."
