Crafted from Mourvèdre vines planted in 2020, The Maker’s Mistress Rosé draws its name from the demands of winemaking often stealing the time and attention of the maker. In every vintage, there’s an element of obsession, a commitment to coaxing the best from each vine, and the Rosé’s first vintage was nothing short of demanding. Inspired by arguably one of the world’s greatest rosés, Château de Pibarnon from the Provence region in southern France. These wines are typically packed full of ripe stone fruits, citrus, and florals, and surprisingly, they age exceptionally well. Most importantly, rosé, when made with careful thought and intention, is remarkably versatile when it comes to food pairing – a topic the Kaesler winemaking and viticultural team is always discussing and debating!

2025 Maker’s Mistress Rose
$35.00
APPEARANCE: Salmon.
BOUQUET: Raspberry, orange blossom, red currants.
PALATE: Eminently drinkable with lovely soft fleshy fruits, think nectarine and peach. The finish is dry and crisp, but just round enough to want you reaching for the second glass!
FOOD MATCH: Tomato salad with lime and cardamom yoghurt.
GRAPE VARIETY: Mourvèdre.
REGION: Barossa Valley.
VINTAGE CONDITIONS: The 2025 Barossa Valley vintage was shaped by a dry winter and spring with rainfall well below average. Warm August conditions brought budburst two to three weeks earlier than usual, increasing exposure to frost, and several notable frost events occurred in mid September across Marananga and the vineyards surrounding the winery. From October onward, consistently warm daytime and nighttime temperatures supported strong growth and healthy canopy development, and ripening progressed quickly through summer. Harvest began early, with the final fruit picked by mid March. Yields were supported by a strong second crop with smaller berries delivering concentrated flavour.
ALCOHOL: 13.5%
