Limited Rosé production 166 dozen from Estate Grown Fruit
Colour: Pale Pink
Aroma: Raspberries and red currants jump out of the glass with touches of dried thyme.
Palate: Dry and refreshing showing flavours of fresh cherries and strawberries. Nuances of nougat and a creamy texture work alongside a cleansing acidity finishing dry.
Vinification: Red wines were drained off (Saignee) straight after harvesting to minimize colour and tannin extraction. The juice was settled for 48 hrs before being racked clean and inoculated with an aromatic yeast in stainless steel. 25% of the juice was barrel fermented in old oak to bring texture. Bottled in July 2024. Alc. 13.0%
Vintage 2024 Rating 9/10: After a dryer, than average winter in 2023 the vines started growing 2 weeks earlier than normal in September. This set the stage for an early harvest and coincided with the hottest driest summer on record with 6 months without a drop. The vines were generously irrigated to improve quality thru days over 35c and the fruit was clean as a whistle. Harvest commenced 4 weeks earlier than average. An amazing Marri blossom kept the birds off the vines and netting was hardly needed. The resulting wines are very fruit intense with generous weight and structure.
