Description
Hahndorf Hill’s six-hectare vineyard is located at the edge of historic Hahndorf village and on the slopes of a gentle hill which, over a century ago, contained a slate quarry. It is very apparent when walking along the slopes of the vineyard blocks at Hahndorf Hill that slate forms a significant part of the mineral component of the soils.
The vineyard topsoils consist of a sandy-loam and red-clay blend, richly embellished with blue-red slate, quartz and ironstone intrusions. The subsoils comprise deep red clay. This abundance of diverse mineral components in the soil translates into a distinct mineral element in all their wines, which is especially beneficial for their Austrian varieties – such as Gruner Veltliner – at which they excel and have pioneered over the past 25 years.
The Adelaide Hills’ slow ripening, cool-climate environment allows for all their grapes to benefit from an extended ripening season with beautifully warm days and cold nights. This diurnal variation is a significant quality defining factor according to producers of these varieties in their native Austria. Hahndorf Hill believe in environmentally sustainable methods to bring out the finesse and vitality in their wines.
Fine rose comprising a blend of German variety, Trollinger, Pinot Noir and other varietals. Early picked to retain fine acidity.
From the winemaker .. “Our popular and deliciously dry Rosé is uniquely made from a blend of our rare Germanic grape, Trollinger, plus other Adelaide Hills red fruit. Made in the typical French Provencal style, it features a strikingly pale, watermelon juice colour, with a succulent nose of apple skin and crushed red berries, that gets you salivating even before you sip! The palate is super vibrant with a tumble of crushed red fruits and an explosion of juicy, natural acidity. The long tail is deliciously dry with a delicate rub of texture. Perfectly matched to freshly shucked oysters and all your favourite seafoods, and sensational with spicy South East Asian cuisine.
This is a rosé that will age well for between 5 – 7 years.”
