- A delicate pale salmon colour, this rosé has a distinctive flavour of peapods and blackberry fruit, which is perfumed, dry, and floral. Its delicate shell-pink colour rosé shows wonderful complexity on the nose, with notes of strawberries, raspberries, melon, and a hint of jasmine. The fruit flavours are echoed on the refreshing and beautifully balanced palate, which finishes clean and dry.
The grapes were picked between 20 to 23 degrees Balling and were then cold fermented at 12 to 15°C in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. Following the fermentation, the wine was left on the lees for six weeks, adding texture and complexity. It was then racked, fined and stabilised in preparation for bottling.

Winery | This wine comes from blocks between 48 and 148 metres above sea level, on slopes south to south-east facing. The climate is Mediterranean, with cooling breezes from the Atlantic Ocean, encouraging balance and complexity in the grapes. The average rainfall is approximately 1,100mm per annum. The soils are predominantly Hutton and Glenrosa, gravelly soils with low fertility. The climate, with the cool southern slopes and deep mountain soils, provides the ideal setting for making this top-quality wine. |
