Elevate the everyday with Regal Rogue.

Australian made, Regal Rogue blends 100% organic Australian wine from Orange NSW with Native Australian Botanicals, to create a fresh, natural range of Australian aperitifs for all occasions.

The beauty of an aperitif is that it can be used in so many different combinations to create the perfect drink for you, whether you like a refreshing ginger base or something sweeter, with four different Regal Rogue flavours on offer – the options are endless.

The Regal Rogue range includes the four following variants:

  • Lively White a citrus and floral – semi dry
  • Daring Dry a savoury and umami – extra dry
  • Bold Red an aromatic spice and dried fruit – semi dry
  • Wild Rose a tropical fruit and fruit spice – semi dry

Regal Rogue operates with their environment in mind, and is constantly evolving under the guidance of the aboriginal philosophy of having as little impact as possible on the environment. They source their native botanicals from the indigenous communities of Australia, their grapes from an award-winning organic winemaker and they use recycled paper and glass on every bottle.

For the Regal Rogue review, we’re asking selected reviewers to take the Regal Rogue Cocktail Challenge at home. We’ll send reviewers into Dan Murphy’s to purchase one of the two Regal Rogue variants below, and then we’ll ask you to create your own delicious cocktail and share it with us here on Mouths of Mums – we can’t wait to see what you think of Regal Rogue.

Marrying in grassy Orange, NSW, organic Sauvignon Blanc with native anise myrtle, quandong, and native thyme is followed by notes of white pepper, olive leaf, and juniper. This combination delivers an earthy, savory, and lightly salted flavour profile, culminating in an umami finish.

Regal Rogue Daring Dry Australian Aperitif

Regal Rogue Daring Dry
Marrying organic Sauv Blanc from Orange, NSW with native anise myrtle, quandong, and native thyme that’s followed by notes of white pepper, olive leaf, and juniper. This combination delivers an earthy, savory, and lightly salted flavour profile, culminating in a umami finish.

For cocktail inspiration, visit Regal Rogue to discover the ‘Dripping Wet Martini,’ which combines Daring Dry with vodka (or a dry gin) to create a well-rounded martini. Alternatively, try the ‘3-Step Aperitif‘ that blends Daring Dry with Indian tonic, an olive, and thyme, served over ice.

Regal Rogue Bold Red Australian Aperitif

Regal Rogue Bold Red (150 x 200 px)
Marrying organic Shiraz and unwooded Chardonnay from Orange, NSW, this vermouth is led by aromatic spice and rich dried fruit. It is followed by native pepper berry, wattleseed, and native thyme, and finishes with cinnamon, star anise, nutmeg, and ginger. This is the world’s first dry red vermouth.

For cocktail inspiration, visit Regal Rogue to discover the ‘Rogroni Cocktail,’ which combines Bold Red, gin, and Aperol, or the ‘3-Step Aperitif,’ that blends Bold Red with ginger beer, fresh orange, and ginger.

  • Native flavours and excellent cocktails!

    I loved this product! It was easy to purchase at Dan Murphy’s and came in a beautiful bottle which looks lovely on a spirit shelf. I made a ‘3-step-apertif’ as recommended on the website with Regal Rogue Bold Red, ginger beer, fresh orange and a slice of ginger…it went down a treat with all my friends! The spirit is a wine replacement for gin, so is very versatile and has beautiful native flavours to it – pepperberry, wattle seed and native thyme. I would love to try the other flavours this range has to offer and would definitely consider purchasing this product again.

  • Regal Eogue, my go to for summer

    I had never tried an aperitif before and I am so glad I did. It’s a staple in my cocktail cabinet now and my go to for a summer drink. A simple addition to so many drinks and for someone who isn’t a lover of an overly sweet drink I really enjoyed the flavour. I can’t wait to try the others.

  • My New Home Bar Staple

    Regal Rogue Bold Red Vermouth is a winner for sure. I’m enjoying trying new cocktails with it. The flavour of the Bold Red Vermouth is so my style and love mixing with items such as Aperol and orange wedges. So summery and fresh. I will be heading out to buy more once finished, which is not too far away.

  • Perfect Summer Drink

    This is my second review of Regal Rogue. My first review concentrated on the Regal Rogue Bold Red but as I’ve also bought and loved the Regal Rogue Daring Dry I thought I should add a second review. While I enjoyed making negronis with the Regal Rogue Bold red, with the Regal Rogue Daring Dry I’ve been adding tonic water and ice. It’s another refreshing drink that is absolutely perfect for Summer and great for enjoying when friends come over. Once I finish this bottle i think I’ll try the Regal Rogue Wild rose variety next.

  • Regal Rogue Bold Red- 5 star taste & flavour

    I recently had the pleasure of trying Regal Rogue Bold Red, and it was a very satisfying experience. Having never tried red vermouth before, I was pleasantly surprised by its rich and complex flavours, with a perfect balance of sweetness and spice. Marrying organic Australian Shiraz and unwooded Chardonnay with native Australian botanicals, it offers a warming yet refreshing taste that I thoroughly enjoyed. My preference was for sipping chilled and neat to really appreciate the botanicals and flavors of the vermouth, but I will say it was fantastic in cocktails too. So much so that it will likely become a regular purchase. Regal Rogue Bold Red is a fantastic choice for those new to red vermouth, and it has certainly piqued my interest in exploring more in this category.

  • Apertif Delight

    Regal Rogue Bold Red Vermouth is like a fun twist on the classic vermouth. It’s packed with organic Shiraz, Chardonnay, and a bunch of Aussie botanicals and spices that make it stand out.

    What makes it even cooler is its lower sugar content, only 80gms per liter (64% less than the usual). So you can mix it with all sorts of things like oranges, ginger, figs, cherries, or just enjoy it on its own.

    It’s not just a drink; it’s an adventure in a glass! Regal Rogue Bold Red Vermouth is your go-to for spicing up your cocktails or making relaxed evenings extra special. Cheers to the good times with Regal Rogue! ????????

  • Sweet authentic drink

    I tried Regal Rogue Bold Red which is an aromatic spice and dried fruit. It’s a semi dry type of vermouth. I found it quite sweet though with the fruity taste. Looking at suggestions on what cocktails to try with it. I decided to make my own creation and add a non alcoholic seltzer with it. It had quotes of lemon and ginger spice in it. I found it complimented the alcohol quite well. All in all this vermouth is of premium quality.mi would highly recommend.

  • Soothing for a summer day perfection

    I tried the Daring Dry and my husband and friends love it. We mixed it with Sprite and a dash of lemon, tried a cocktail with tonic water and fresh mint leaves and a drop of mint syrup.
    Also, we mixed fresh squeezed orange juice and a dash of lime.

    It’s really versatile in all sort of mixes and goes well in a lot of cocktails.
    I highly reckoned it – it’s so refreshing even on its own, just chilled.
    Love it!

  • Sophisticated, different and very nice!

    I’m a huge fan of red wine so I really enjoyed this twist on a nice cocktail with the Shiraz vibes.

    I made the aperitif with the regal rogue bold red, ginger beer and orange slices. It was really nice, so different to what I’d usually have.

    I’ll definitely be buying other flavours in their range for cocktail nights with the girls!

  • Embarking on a taste adventure with Regal Rogue's Lively White was a delight.

    The blend of citrus and floral notes created a refreshing and invigorating experience. As I trialed it, I couldn\’t help but appreciate the craftsmanship that went into this Australian aperitif—each sip carried a hint of sophistication. The Cocktail Challenge at home added a fun element, allowing me to explore different ways to savour the lively essence of Lively White. If you\’re seeking a refreshing and elegant choice, Regal Rogue is a definite win. Cheers to a truly enjoyable experience!

  • Not easy to find, but a refreshing summer drink

    I was hoping to try the Bold Red or the Wild Rose, but unfortunately after several trips to my local Dan Murphy’s I could find either of them, so had to settle for the Daring Dry. Even though it was my preferred option, it was quite enjoyable. I tried it with tonic, soda & cranberry juice. Tonic was my favourite with a wedge of lime.

    A delicious burst of flavour. You could definitely taste the spices but they were by no means overwhelming. Just added to the party in my mouth. A very refreshing drink to enjoy on a hot summers day. id never considered buying anything like this but im definitely converted!

  • Regal Rogue

    Daring Dry is made with an Australian Organic native Australian herbs and spices, including native Anise Myrtle, Quandong and Native Thyme.Regal Rogue Darling Dry Vermouth is fantastic! It’s not too strong or sweet, just right. The flavors are like a mix of fruits and spices that blend perfectly. You can use it in lots of cocktails or just on the rocks. I’m very happy and i will recommend to all my friends to buy Regal Rogue Daring Dry. Give it a try, you won’t be disappointed!

  • Delicious

    I really enjoyed trying out Regal Rogue Vermouth. Gin is usually my drink of choice but I was pleasantly surprised with regal rogue and its botanical infusions. Its has similar qualities and pairs will with soda or tonic and fruit.
    It also makes a delicious addition to many cocktail recipes. I enjoyed dry vermouth with cranberry juice and gingerale. We also purchased the Bold Red after this trial to taste. It really is very good with ginger too

    After trying the Regal Rogue Daring Dry I am telling all my friends about my new favourite summer drink. Mixed with tonic and lemon it’s simply delicious. Smooth, tasty and refreshing. The only problem is I can only get it at Dan Murphy’s which is not super close to us. Need it sold at other retailers.

  • HARD TO FIND, GOOD BUT NOT SHOW STOPPING

    I found this item extremely hard to find in stores around me, though all of them would have the shelf space/ticket, it was usually unavailable on shelves/sold out, so it took a while to find, but I was committed & keen for a cocktail so I persevered.

    Upon purchasing, I trialled with the 2 recommended cocktails; Rogroni & 3 Step Apertif, both of which were very quick/easy to make, even for those inexperienced in mixology of drinks. I liked the aspect of making my own drink, as opposed to buying an RTD; as though it wasn’t hard or time consuming to do, it did make me feel a bit ‘fancy’.

    Both cocktails were sampled.. to completion, and enjoyed, with the verdict between my partner & I being that the 3 Step Apertif was the winner.

    Personally, I thought it was a great product, that definitely delivered on the botanicals promised, however, it didn’t really seem ‘show stopping’, therefore had me questioning the price point a bit.

    I probably wouldn’t repurchase again, but definitely will finish up what we have.

    I was a bit apprehensive to try this one – we had already tried the red one and now hubby went out to try the daring dry one (not all Dan Murphy’s stock these either, it hard to find). I added a bit of lemon soda into it and some lime and it tasted amazing. I am not a big booze drinker but this is just right for me, especially with the added soda.

    It’s not a drink that many would just grab without thinking, but they really should try it!
    Its deliciously herbal & refreshing.
    Pair with a delicious tonic, or if you like it sweeter, a lemon mixer.
    I’d take a fresh pic, but i drank it too fast!

Article ‘A Beautiful Adelaide Blend With A Lighter Alcohol Content!’

‘A Beautiful Adelaide Blend With A Lighter Alcohol Content!’

For lighter wines that still taste like the real deal, Chapel Hill’s Enlightened range is quickly becoming a go-to. These bottles bring all the flavour with noticeably less alcohol, which is why everyone’s falling in love with them.

Best SIPS’ Chapel Hill Enlightened Wines review team put the Rosé and Pinot Grigio through their paces, and the feedback was unanimous: both are fresh, light and perfect for summer sipping without the unwanted morning crogginess.

A rosé with summer written all over it

Chapel Hill’s Enlightened Rosé is bright, crisp and fruity, hitting all the right notes without tipping into the “too sweet” zone. It’s the kind of bottle you reach for at a casual barbecue or any get-together where you want something delicious but easygoing.

It’s exactly this balance of lightness and full flavour in an affordable bottle that has so many fans raving.

“Light, refreshing and honestly just feels like a little moment of peace in a glass. The flavour is this perfect mix of crisp + fruity without being too sweet — literally the kind of rosé you can sip while you finally sit down after a long day.”

Women trying Chapel Hill Enlightened Rosé.
A summer staple … on the lighter side

“Too many of these low alcohol wines just don’t taste enough like the real deal-but this is a sure fire exception. Beautifully refreshing, with a touch of sweetness that’s not overwhelming. A gorgeous colour too, which is a bonus- after all, we also drink either our eyes! Add into the mix a reasonable price point- this rose is a winner!”

“I love a nice glass of Rosé and the Chapel Hill Enlightened Rosé did not disappoint! It’s really light and refreshing and tastes like a really expensive wine. I love that this wine is really affordable, so I can enjoy a beautiful Rosé without breaking the bank more often. Definitely give this one a try!”

If your warm-weather wine rack needs an affordable new staple, this is it.

A Pinot Grigio you’ll be buying again (and again!)

For the white lovers, Chapel Hill’s Enlightened Pinot Grigio is a solid everyday white that ticks all the boxes: crisp, clean, food-friendly and affordable.

Our taste-testers repeatedly praised how balanced and versatile it feels, whether chilled on its own or alongside simple meals and casual gatherings.

“We love a white to pair with our spring/summer lunches and especially our seafood. This option ticked all the boxes …”

A versatile sip you’ll keep reaching for

“I enjoyed the first sip to the last of this Pinot. Anything with pear and citrus is something I want to try and this lived up to that, but with a lighter alcohol content – which I appreciate! Enjoyed over dinner, it paired really nicely with the food I was eating. This wine is something I’d happily recommend to others.”

“The wine offered just the right balance of fruity flavours – fresh and vibrant, but never overpowering or too sharp. It paired beautifully with both our light lunches and dinner, making every meal feel a bit more special. I also appreciated how crisp and refreshing it tasted, perfect for unwinding and enjoying good company. Definitely a Pinot Grigio I’d reach for again.”

Your lower-alcohol go-to

The team rates Enlightened wines 4.34 out of 5 and recommends them for anyone on the hunt for flavour-forward wine with less alcohol. They’re bright, modern and made for the kind of moments where you’d love a glass, but still want to feel good afterwards.

Find Chapel Hill Enlightened at Dan Murphy’s right now for $17.99 each.

  • The warmer weather tends to make alcohol go to my head faster – I’m not a big drinker, but just for that reason I’d seriously consider a low alcohol wine. The Pinot Grigio particularly sound as if I might enjoy it. I might well buy a bottle or two for Christmas.

    Reply

  • Looks delicious, would be keen to try their wines based off the reviews. Love anything local and the light wine is just an extra win – low alcohol content would be fab for nights with friends where we all still have to drive home afterwards so would be buying for that type of event!

    Reply

  • Chapel Hill Wines do have quite a good reputation. I like the fact that it is low alcohol content. Personally, I like a very sweet wine but many would like these as they are not so sweet. I wish them well with sales and think it’s good they are doing something about lowering alcohol level.

    Reply

  • Thanks for sharing this review. It sounds that the taste is good, the price is good and the alcohol content is really low indeed. I do like the fact that they’re light. One of the things I don’t like when you’re drinking a couple of glasses that it fills you up and it affects your appetite

    Reply

  • I appreciate all the reviews and think this is an excellent way to get your brand out there and known.

    Reply

  • I like the sound of the Pinot Grigio and will look out for it next time I’m at the bottle shop.

    Reply

  • I just asked the forum for recommendations on zero alcohol, but this is an attractive option as well! I do enjoy a Rose, so will try this one after all the positive reviews. It’s a shame they don’t have a sparkling in their collection yet! Would have been prefect for all the celebrating at this time of year.

    Reply

  • I dislike rose, but the pinot grigio sounds like it might suit me. To be honest, the alcohol content doesn’t bother me all that much – I rarely drink more than a glass or two anyway – but it would probably be nice from a general health point of view to know I’m consuming less alcohol.

    Reply

  • This sounds like the perfect glass. I do love being able to have a few drinks and not be all over the place about me. And as a bubbly girlie from Adelaide myself, I’m sure I’ll find a lot to like about this drop. Crisp and not too sweet, I’m sold and will have to try it.

    Reply

  • It was the first time for me hearing about the chapel hill brand. And i still recall when i picked up the Pinot Grigio from my local, the staff there actually stopped me and said i picked a winner! She said that it was probably the best Pinot they had available to sell.

    Reply

  • I’ve heard a lot of good things about Chapel Hill wines and the reviews are always good. I like that they have low alcohol range as I like to have a few glasses when I finally get to have one. Not being too sweet is a bonus that suits me well.

    Reply

  • The idea of having a lower alcohol content wine without compromising taste is really exciting. There’s nothing worse than feeling “under the weather” from the effects of alcohol. This lovely wine ticks all the boxes, lower alcohol and a refreshing flavour. I’m keen to get the Pinot Grigio in my cart and into my fridge!

  • This wine sounds delightful and really refreshing to enjoy on a summer afternoon. I love that it tastes fresh and crisp and still has the same punch as other wine. It sounds like an absolute delight. I will have to give it a try next time i am at the bottle shop looking for some wine.
