The Mazi Limited Release Rosé, a 2025/26 split-vintage bottling from McLaren Vale, is a small-run addition to the Mazi rosé lineup, made in the same old-vine, Mediterranean-leaning spirit as the rest of the range. As a limited release it is worth catching while it lasts rather than a wine to plan around long term, and it offers a slightly different snapshot of the estate's rosé style each year.

It shows red berry, citrus zest and a light floral note on the nose, with a palate that is fresh and fruit-forward while still carrying the savoury undertone that runs through Mazi's rosés, and a gentle textural grip from its red-grape base.

Dry, crisp and moderate in weight, with clean acid driving a finish that is refreshing rather than heavy, this is an easy, versatile drink rather than a wine demanding attention, though it has more character than a throwaway summer rosé.

It works equally well on its own over ice or alongside light seafood, salads and antipasto, making it a flexible warm-weather bottle for the table or the beach.

Drink it young, within its first year, to enjoy the freshness that defines this small-batch release.
