REVIEW FROM THE WINEFRONT
Interestingly, this wine is from Cowra (organic vineyard) and not the Hunter Valley, though is made from shiraz as usual. The thread of Harkham rosé is the wine is usually very good, somewhat more savoury, this more primary fruited than usual is all. And good for it. No sulphur used in production here.
Bright as can be. Glass shard crunch and crispness, razor cut edges of tang and zing, all blood orange and pink grapefruit juice with flickers of briny minerality and faint cardamom spice. It’s a little edgy but in the best sense as it delivers huge freshness and refreshment factor, though there is a sense of juiciness in tow too. Fragrant too. It’s wickedly drinkable and such a good time.
Perhaps missing some of the savoury nuance and complexity of past releases, but does deliver a fuller profile or pink wine with more going on than most, and so well.
