About this wine from the winery:“This Rose was sourced from neighbouring vineyards within our region and a vineyard in Heathcote. The fruit was whole bunch pressed and fermentation commenced spontaneously with ambient yeasts in old French oak barriques. Once dry, the wine was left on lees for several months prior to bottling. The wine was bottled without fining and with minimal filtration. (In 2024) Warm and dry conditions condensed the season. Exceptional efforts from our viticulture and winery teams ensured the timely delivery and processing of fruit. While yields were below long-term averages, the conditions proved favourable for pristine and optimally ripe fruit.
“Pale salmon in colour. Aromas of raspberry and crushed strawberry merge to pink grapefruit citrus, with notes of talc, spice and flint adding complexity and allure. Vibrant and focused on the palate, cranberry and raspberry flavours together with strawberries and cream flow along a vivid line of grapefruit-like acidity. Barrel fermented lees notes add mid palate sweetness while a chalky phenolic line provides length and depth, and a long and bright finish.”
91 points, Gary Walsh, The Wine Front “… This is more vinous and under-stated, redcurrant and rosehip, something a little saline too, with a flicker of aniseed. It’s a little but nutty, and again saline, blood orange with a slight amaro tang, along with some more meaty and umami flavours, and a finish of good length.”
