2012 Plantagenet Omrah Great Southern Rose

My god, this is a good rose. Complex, with its coupling of sweetness and dryness. It smells of strawberries, vanilla and a hint of something more quirkily medicinal like green kiwi fruit, or perhaps stone fruit like nectarine or peach. It's that wonderful raw salmon pink in colour. In the mouth it might immediately seem sweet, but it's trustworthy, and delivers smoothly into dryness. My sister bought it home from the Centennial Hotel.
