Vibrant, savoury and sharply defined, this is not your average pink wine. The 2025 Izway Aglianico Rosato marks the first release of a style born from both instinct and adversity. Made from Aglianico grown in the ironstone-rich soils of Koonunga, this inaugural vintage speaks to the potential of the variety in Australian rosé. After infrastructure updates at the winery, the team finally had the tools to handle the variety’s tannin, acidity and colour with the precision it demands.
Pressed using traditional basket presses and built from small parcels made during a volatile growing season, this is a copper-toned rosato with striking aromatic lift. Aglianico’s natural freshness underpins layers of grapefruit, cranberry, strawberry and orange peel, leading to a palate that balances texture with zip. There’s tension here, but also charm, purpose-built for warm days, but not bound to them.
