HEWITSON

Hewitson Belle Ville Rose 2022

Trust your Taste

Strawberry, peach and watermelon meet a floral lift in this Provence-inspired Barossa rosé. Crisp acidity carries a balanced, dry-finishing palate. Try it well chilled if you enjoy fragrant rosé with refreshing edges rather than a rich, creamy feel.

?

Restrained weight, little grip and crisp floral freshness favour Sensitive palates. PalateKey groups wines by how they feel, helping you find styles you enjoy. Your own taste comes first.

This suits you if you enjoy fragrant, crisp rosé with a dry finish and little tannin grip.

It may not suit you if you prefer very soft acidity or a rich, creamy rosé.

How this wine feels

The fruit feels fresh and lightly rounded, followed by a crisp, mouth-watering finish. There is little drying grip, and the overall impression is delicate and balanced. It is a good fit if freshness matters more to you than richness.

The sliders show how strongly each characteristic comes through. Higher does not mean better.

Behind the bottle

Hewitson Belle Ville is inspired by Dean Hewitson’s time making rosé in Provence, using dry-grown Barossa fruit.
