Colour: Bright blush, fresh salmon pink.

Nose: High notes of Rosehip tea, compote and pot pourri, finishes with white pepper and strawberries.

Palate: Crisp and dry, bounces across the palate leaving a very groovy trail of strawberries and cream, backed by some herbal savoury notes and finishing with a clean fresh palate. Long and dry, smooth and complex.

After our usually supply of Grenache from the Marananga region of the Barossa was destroyed in a freak hail storm in late 2021, we needed to seek another solution to our Rosé.

The opportunity was presented to source Mataro grapes from the Chalk Hill vineyards of McLaren Vale. This fruit is grown organically and sustainably, and allows us to keep producing the type of wine we love to make.

Winemaking
Night harvested. Whole berry pressed in the pneumatic bag press for over an hour, provided the colour suitable. Juice was chilled down to below zero, aiding the stabilisation process, and when racked, the ensuing juice was then allowed to naturally warm and begin fermentation with natural bentonite clay. This again aids stabilisation and assists in the prevention of “off ” characters in the fermentation. After a steady 16-day cool ferment, the wine was again chilled below zero to settle the solids and racked as a clean- finished wine.

2021 Vintage
Restrained and delicately expressed, the bouquet shows raspberry, crunchy apple, olive and subtle spice notes, followed by a linear palate that’s elegantly weighted and crisp-dry. At its best: now to 2024
