Rosé 2025
$28.00
This Rosé looks stunning in the glass; a beautiful rose pink hue.
The bouquet is incredibly aromatic and complex. Floral, green, and herbaceous upfront with chalky minerality and a bit of richness from the lees coming through. The fruit component is comprised of lemon, grapefruit and mandarin for citrus and freshly picked raspberry. It is fresh and alive.
The palate is textural and dry. Here the fruit is showing more restraint and the minerality dominates. The structure is in great balance with bright acidity and enough juiciness to balance out the bone-dry palate. The finish is softly tannic, and lingering.

Taste Profile
The 2025 Grenache Rosé captures your attention in the glass with its pale pink, rose-gold colour.
The bouquet is lifted, with floral notes of cherry, musk, strawberry and fresh cut flowers. Green apple and herbal notes increase complexity and blend seamlessly with the intense minerality.
This wine is bone dry, with time on lees providing textural creaminess. Together with fine tannins, this gives roundness and persistence of flavour. Strawberry and melon define the palate, creating intrigue and leaving you wanting more.
The 2025 Tscharke Grenache Rosé is very similar in style to the 2022 Barossa Wine Show Trophy winner.
Delicious.
Vintage Notes
For the second consecutive year, the Barossa Valley experienced below-average winter and spring rainfall, with drought conditions persisting throughout the 2024 growing season. Spring and summer were particularly dry, with summer rainfall reaching only 25% of average.
Warmer-than-average temperatures from August onward accelerated vine development, bringing budburst two to three weeks earlier than normal. However, severe frost events in mid-September caused widespread damage, significantly reducing yields in some vineyards. Despite this setback, many vines recovered through fertile secondary shoots. Continued warm conditions through spring and summer hastened ripening, resulting in one of the earliest harvests on record, with most vineyards picked by late March and even the latest sites completed by early April.
In 2025, quality across the Tscharke estate appears very strong. Grenache and Shiraz have emerged as particular highlights. The season once again demonstrated the Barossa’s resilience, producing a vintage well worth celebrating.
Winemaking
The Grenache fruit was hand harvested at sunrise on 23 February 2025 from the Gnadenfrei North vineyard. Upon arrival at the winery, the fruit was immediately destemmed and pressed to tank. The juice was chilled and left to settle for forty-eight hours before racking and inoculation.
Fermentation occurred at cold temperatures for 30 days, preserving delicate floral aromatics and flavours. After one month, the wine was dry and ready to be racked before winter ageing. In November 2025, the wine was racked and bottled.
This wine is bone dry, with time on lees providing textural creaminess.
