About the wine
The first Naked Rosé from a fourth-generation grape growing guru!
Fourth-generation grape grower and winemaker Josh Pfeiffer is thrilled to present Angels with his first ever Breaking Grounds Rosé – the second of his Naked creations since he was liberated in 2020. After working at top Aussie spots like Henschke, Two Hands and Yalumba, and helping put his family winery on James Halliday’s radar, he’s a Barossa talent who's proved his worth every step of the way.
Langhorne Creek generally over delivers when it comes to value for money, and this Rosé is no exception. With the 2021 vintage arguably the best in many years thanks to near perfect ripening conditions, this is a balanced and flavour-filled wine that’s available to Angels at a fraction of your standard bottle shop cost.
It smells like watermelon and raspberries, tastes like strawberries and cream, and is a delight to drink whenever the sun is shining! Having been filtered and bottled without any fining agents, it’s a drop that’s vegan-friendly, too.
Best before
As with most Rosé wines, I would drink them within the first 12-18 months. Any longer than that and they will start to lose their fruit characters, which is what the wine is all about!
Serving advice
Wait for a sunny day, invite some friends around, chill down a few bottles and open them up!
Food match
There is a chicken shop in the Barossa that does great hot chips, they also make great battered fish. This wine goes well with anything slightly salty or oily, as it has the acid and sweet fruit character to cut through the food.
Alternatively, asian food such as dumplings or Thai beef salad would work well also.

Meet the winemaker - Josh Pfeiffer

- Josh is a talented winemaker with four generations of Barossa grape-growers blood flowing through his veins. He’s taking a fresh approach to traditional wines, backed by barrels of passion and industry know-how from iconic wineries.
- From growing up on a Penfolds vineyard to working at Henschke and helping put his family winery on the map, it’s no surprise he landed a spot on the Top 50 Young Guns of Wine list - three years in a row. What a rockstar!
