Details
One of the most loved wines in the Margan stable, this rosé is a unique blend of bright, Merlot, Shiraz and Pinot Grigio. It all works though, making a bright and yet savoury pink wine with a little peach and hints of bramble (you knew that was coming) with a crisp and dry finish.
From their home vineyard at Broke Fordwich in the Lower Hunter Valley, Andrew & Lisa Margan first set out in 1996 to showcase the sort of fruit intensity that the famously fertile, weathered red volcanic clay soils of their plot could deliver. From the start, those Margan Wines releases were such generous things! But what's even more interesting is what happened next: an onsite restaurant (with a famous kitchen garden) that has become one of the absolute best in the Hunter, complemented by an orchard, an olive grove, and a working farm that sells lambs, free-range chickens, and honey. We're not even touching on the cellar door, which has won all the awards around! More recently, Ollie Margan has increasingly taken over the business, bringing a sharp focus on modern styles and a different approach. Grapes are picked earlier, wines are made with minimal intervention, and some curious concrete fermenters are used to capture optimum freshness, with the whole Margan range now looking better than ever.

Pairing guide
Meet your new favourite brunch wine. This sort of savoury, gently fruity sort of rosé is going to win friends wherever it goes, thanks to the softly creamy edges and easy energy. It's such an everyman drink, and although we think it's perfect with eggs, bacon, avocado, toast, and all of the brunch action (we almost missed the salmon too), this Margan rosé has the sort of fruit intensity to match up with plenty of more hearty chicken or rice salad dishes and an array of noodle options too.

Wine region

Hunter Valley, Australia
The Hunter Valley is located in New South Wales, Australia. It is situated approximately 150km northwest of Sydney and is known for producing world-class Semillon and formidable Chardonnay, Verdelho, Sauvignon Blanc, and Shiraz.
The region has a long history of winemaking, with the first vines planted in the 1830s. Today, the Hunter Valley is home to more than 150 wineries, ranging from small, family-owned operations to larger, internationally recognized producers such as Tyrell’s Wines, Mount Pleasant Wines and Brokenwood Wines.
Hunter Valley comprises the following sub-regions: Upper Hunter Valley, Broke Fordwich, and Pokolbin. The region's climate is warm and humid, relying on rain, humidity, cloud cover and sea breeze to mitigate the warmth. Soil types vary across the region. Generally, Semillon performs well on the sandy alluvial flats, whereas Shiraz prefers the red loamy soil types.
