Rosé 2023

Made from 100% Estate-grown Shiraz grapes, hand-harvested at 12°Baumé off a lyre trellis in the cool of the morning. Gentle whole bunch pressing was carried out in small batches for extraction control. A novel, cultured yeast recommended for young, fresh, aromatic wines was used and the ferment stopped by taste at 2g/L residual sugar by sulphur addition and chilling. Minimal fining with PVPP, copper and bentonite was carried out prior to cold stabilisation, filtration and bottling. The finished wine has an attractive salmon pink colour, the nose sings of wild strawberry with hints of lychee and the palate echoes the nose with strawberry, raspberry and watermelon notes and a refreshing, dry finish. Delicious with food or on its own.
