The Nocturne SR Rosé is a pale pink, bone-dry, and incredibly refreshing wine from the coastal fields of Margaret River, Western Australia. Produced by winemaker Julian Langworthy, this Sub-Regional release is widely considered one of the absolute benchmarks for premium Australian rosé, trading sugary sweetness for a seriously chic, savory, and texture-driven style.
- Aromas: Fragrant and pretty, bursting with fresh strawberries, redcurrants, and wild rose petals, mixed with hints of blood orange zest and white pepper.
- Palate: Clean and crisp, delivering crunchy pomegranate and pink grapefruit flavours over a mouth-watering line of salty mineral acidity and a dry finish.
- Style: A modern, progressive rosé that sits firmly in the savoury Mediterranean camp, completely ditching sweet lolly vibes to focus on structural tension and pure refreshment.
-
Winemaking: A premium blend of Nebbiolo and Sangiovese, picked early for maximum freshness, gently pressed, and fermented using old oak barrels and stainless steel to build depth.
- Food Pairing: Absolutely brilliant with Vietnamese prawn summer rolls, spicy tuna sashimi, salt and pepper tofu, or a classic papaya salad.
Nocturne
Nocturne is the husband-and-wife partnership of Julian Langworthy and Alana, crafting highly awarded, site-driven wines from exceptional vineyards in Margaret River.
Julian, a Margaret River native, is widely recognised as one of Australia’s leading winemakers, with accolades including Winemaker of the Year in the 2019 Halliday Wine Companion and the Jimmy Watson Trophy. Together, they focus on sourcing outstanding fruit, including from their own Sheoak Vineyard, known for its mature Cabernet vines.
The range is divided into Single Vineyard (SV) and Sub Regional (SR) wines. The SV wines are precise, powerful expressions of exceptional sites, produced in limited quantities, while the SR range offers a more approachable, vibrant style.
Across both ranges, Nocturne wines are defined by energy, balance, and drinkability—elegant, expressive, and a true reflection of Margaret River.
