Levantine Hill Levant Rosé

Wine review: Levantine Hill Levant Rosé

It’s no secret that I love a good Rosé, and so when I was sent the Levantine Hill Levant Rosé to try I was pretty excited to crack it open. The Yarra Valley where Levantine Hill is based holds a special place in my heart (we got engaged and married there), and after trying their Colleen’s Paddock Pinot late last year I was pretty certain I was going to love this wine. And I was right, there isn’t anything not to love about this beautiful and complex Rosé. It’s lovely and refreshing yet has enough oomph to pair perfectly with food. Warm Summer days over the festive season call for great wine, and this Rosé seriously delivers.

On the nose, the Levantine Hill Levant Rosé is lovely and fragrant with notes of strawberry, spice and a hint of nectarine. These notes follow through into the palate which has a hint of white chocolate that balances out refreshing acidity. I love the play between the vibrant notes of fruit and spice alongside just the right amount of crispness. It’s the kind of wine you want to keep unpacking, and each sip allows you to discover more and more. If you’re after a special wine that’s perfect for Summer, this limited edition Rosé is sure to tick all the boxes.

About Levantine Hill

Nestled in the heart of Australia’s Yarra Valley, Levantine Hill Winery is an absolute treasure trove for lovers of premium Australian wine. Since their first vintage in 2012, they’ve continued to make an impression and are considered some of the best wines in the Yarra Valley. Levantine Hill was established by the Jreissati family who bought a well-established vineyard on the Maroondah Highway at Coldstream and began creating a new one. Their wines are handcrafted without compromise, producing premium bottles with exceptional quality.

The winery began against the odds, with experts saying the terrain was incapable of sustaining vines in such an elevated location. But they persevered with a vision to produce exceptional wines, and now their vineyards have an elevation that is quite similar to the Grand Cru vineyards of Chablis, France. This spirit of determination shines through in their quality award-winning wines.

Levantine Hill Winery is known for its unwavering commitment to creating top-notch wines that are nothing short of a sheer delight. Heading the winemaking team is the incredible Paul Bridgeman, a winemaker extraordinaire with over two decades of experience. Paul’s infectious enthusiasm and passion permeate every bottle, from tenderly tending to the vineyards to producing wines that are an ode to the Yarra Valley’s terroir. Levantine Hill boasts a series of meticulously tended vineyard sites that lay the foundation for their winemaking excellence. These vineyards are strategically positioned to capture the essence of the Yarra Valley’s diverse microclimates, ensuring that each wine embodies the unique character of its origin.

You can purchase this wine from The Levantine Hill website. It’s also available at retailers nationwide.
