Nocturne SR Rose 2024 1500ml

SPECIAL VALUE - SR as in sub-region of Carbunup, where Julian Langworthy sources sangiovese and tempranillo as the base of this ripper rosé. He also writes a hilarious tech sheet – makes my day when tasting a lot of wine; here’s an example: 'If a thief were in your house, this is the wine they would drink.' Another excellent offering from the King of Pink, with this all textural and creamy yet bolstered by crunchy, bright acidity. Watermelon and rind, cherries, sumac and some warm spices with a touch of fresh herbs, all of which make this a delicious drink. It has some volume yet finishes dry and lingers long. (96) JANE FAULKNER, Halliday Wine Companion

Pale salmon in appearance. The nose is soft and delicate, with aromas of strawberries, nectarines and peaches. The palate is medium-bodied with focused acidity, giving generous notes of rose petals, flint and candied grapefruit. Very refreshing and refined. 86% sangiovese and 14% tempranillo. Drink or hold. Screw cap. JAMES SUCKLING

Nocturne is the personal passion project of Julian Langworthy, widely regarded as one of Australia’s greatest young winemakers. Known for his precision, palate, and ability to coax both detail and generosity from Margaret River fruit, Julian brings a modern, almost obsessive focus to Nocturne—wines that speak clearly of site, structure and style without ever losing their drinkability.

Among the standouts in the range is the Nocturne Sub-Regional Rosé, a wine that continues to impress year after year. Crafted with the same meticulous attention Julian brings to his flagship reds and whites, this rosé is all about purity, texture and understated sophistication. Sourced from carefully selected Margaret River vineyards, it delivers lifted aromatics, crisp red fruits, fine acidity and that unmistakable Langworthy polish.
