Tasting Notes
Trophy winner Best Rosé of Show at the 2023 PKF Hunter Valley Wine Show
Region
Hunter Valley
The Story
It’s no secret that we love making (and drinking!) rosé. Our rosé is a unique blend of 60% merlot and 40% shiraz grown on our family vineyard. A cool fermentation preserves the delicate aromatics. This fresh, vibrant and dry style of rosé is the perfect crowd-pleaser.
The Wine
The freshly pressed juices fermented on their skins for 2 hours, resulting in a light blush colour. With aromatics of strawberries and cream, and natural acidity gives the wine a lovely liveliness which is backed by lush strawberry & raspberry fruits.
The Vintage
Good rain throughout the growing season saw the vines flourish through a warm & dry extended harvest.
A slow start to vintage for 2023 compared allowed for grapes in pristine condition, with good sugar levels and great concentration of flavour.
The Potential
Perfect for enjoying early, there’s no need to lay this down in your cellar.
Always best served chilled with family and friends!
The Match
Rosé is such a versatile wine, it can simply be paired with sunshine and great friends, or make a meal of it with seared salmon with a parmesan crust.
Either way this rosé is the perfect addition for the kind of long lunch that seem to merge into dinner.
