Angove Organic Rosé is made from organically certified Shiraz grapes grown in our own Nanya Vineyard, near Paringa, South Australia, with a splash of Sauvignon Blanc.

Early season conditions were dry, with a warm spring encouraging strong budburst and early flowering across most varieties. Summer brought consistent warmth without prolonged heatwaves, allowing for even ripening and strong canopy health throughout the region. Careful irrigation management and mild conditions through veraison ensured flavour development was preserved. Yields remained slightly below long-term averages due to pruning strategies aimed at concentrating fruit quality and managing vine stress from the dry lead-in. Harvest timing was largely typical, with fruit showing excellent balance, ripe phenolics, and natural acidity. Winemakers across the region report wines from 2025 as vibrant, varietally expressive, and reflective of a region that continues to adapt and excel in a changing climate.

Shiraz grapes were harvested in the cool of dawn in early February when the berries still had reasonable acidity but also good sugar and flavour ripeness, they were lightly crushed directly to the press and then drained and pressed to ensure minimal tannin and colour in the final juice. Fermentation occurred under cool, temperature controlled conditions in stainless steel with a specially selected yeast to ensure maximum retention of flavours and aromas. During blending a ‘splash’ of Sauvignon Blanc was added to lift the palate to another dimension.

Food Pairing: Grilled Seafood or spicy Asian cuisine.
