» Reviews / Awards
"This is a new release from Rosily based on a blend of grenache and shiraz. It's a medium-bodied drink-now, fruit-driven wine. Soft supple palate with flavours of raspberry and light redcurrant. The tannins are soft and supple and the oak well weighted, though surprisingly with 35% new French." Ray Jordan, The West Australian, April 14 2011
