2025 Mazi MCG Rose

Mazi makes brilliant, modern styles of dry rosé, and their 2025 MCG is an absolute winner. The name stands for Mataro, Cinsault and Grenache. Instead of blending separate wines at the end, they hand-picked all three varieties on the exact same day and threw them into the fermenter together to let the flavours meld from day one.

They kept things simple in the cellar with a cool ferment to lock in all those delicate vineyard aromatics, bottling it with minimal fuss. The whole idea here is to move away from sweet, simple pink wines and focus entirely on pure fruit, pretty perfume and a really lovely, mouth-watering texture.

The nose is incredibly inviting, kicking off with a pretty floral scent, musk and a distinct hint of Turkish delight. On the palate, it feels generous but stays perfectly balanced, offering bright red berry and cherry flavours framed by fine, chalky tannins. It is a smart, savoury drop that is flat-out delicious on a warm afternoon.
