A powerful sparkling rosé, with a nose that opens with subtle toasty notes before lifting into ripe strawberries and red apples. This all is wrapped up with zesty acidity and a chalky backdrop, with some notes of toasted almond and orange peel. A dense, rich wine, but with plenty of freshness too.

Watkins wine is a family affair. Started by David and Ros Watkins, back in the mid 90s, Watkins Wine has moved from a beacon of quality in the Langhorne Creek region to recently setting up shop in the Adelaide Hills. With this move comes a fresh outlook, not to mention some fresh packaging on the wines! These days, there's more of the influence of the offspring - Sam, Ben and Jo. Covering winemaking, Accounting and Marketing between them, they offer the ideal 'triple threat' of skills to take this family business to the next level. With a wide range of varieties planted across the two regions, and Sam's winemaking background that covers a host of different wine regions in 3 different countries, there's ample scope for inspiration and innovation. For now, the aim is to coax the best flavours possible from their grapes, but this trio has an eye on the future, so keep your eyes peeled and your tastebuds ready for what Watkins does next!
