The innovative Koerner brothers are at it again with Rouge, a vibrant, fresh-faced Gamay sourced from high-altitude vineyards in the cool-climate Adelaide Hills. Pouring a glowing, translucently bright ruby in the glass, this low-intervention beauty pops with expressive aromas of freshly crushed raspberries, sour cherries, wild herbs, and a subtle earthy pepper note. On the palate, it’s light on its feet yet packed with crunchy red fruit, driving acidity, and ultra-fine, delicate tannins that give it just the right amount of structure. Made with minimal intervention to let the purest expression of the grape shine, it’s vibrant, energetic, and shockingly smashable. Pop it in the fridge for 20 minutes before serving for maximum quaffability.
