This wine is made from merlot grapes grown in Mudgee.  I’m not entirely clear whether the “16” in the big font is intended to be a reference to the vintage, i.e. 2016 and this is the “No 5” wine à la Yarra Yering style labelling or whether the wine is intended to be sold as a non-vintage wine and it happens to be called “No516”.  In the glass, there are aromas of ripe red apples – think fresh royal galas.  The palate is dry, with strawberry and raspberry notes.  It’s a perfectly pleasant and fresh rosé.  (Alc: 13.5%, Region: Mudgee, Rating: Good, Drink: now, Tasted: May, 2017, Source: Sample)
