Alkina is known for its commitment to organic and biodynamic practices, focusing on producing wines that reflect the unique terroir of their estate. The 2023 Kin Rosé is crafted primarily from Grenache and possibly other Rhône varieties, a blend that provides both fruit-forward flavours and subtle complexity. This rosé is a vibrant yet refined wine, perfect for those looking for a refreshing style with a touch of Barossa character.

Appearance: Pale pink with a hint of coral, showing a light, fresh style that’s visually inviting.

Aroma: The nose is aromatic and lively, with fresh notes of strawberry, raspberry, and red cherry. Floral hints of rose petals and orange blossom add brightness, while a gentle earthiness and touch of spice bring complexity.

Taste: Light-bodied with crisp acidity, the palate offers juicy flavours of red berries, including wild strawberry and cranberry, balanced by a savoury, mineral-driven undertone. The wine is dry, with a smooth texture and a slight herbal edge, adding depth without overpowering the fresh fruit character.

Finish: Refreshing and clean, with lingering notes of red fruit, citrus zest, and a delicate savoury finish that makes it ideal for sipping.

Food Pairings: This rosé pairs wonderfully with light Mediterranean dishes, such as grilled seafood, fresh salads with herbs, or a selection of antipasti. It also complements creamy cheeses and charcuterie, enhancing the wine's bright acidity and delicate fruit flavours. Perfect for warm afternoons or casual gatherings.
