This is the newest addition to our table wine range and one of a very few Australian Rosé wines made from Tempranillo, an exciting new variety to Australia, and is suited to our Mediterranean climate and foods just like Spain where it originates.
Varietal: 100% Tempranillo
Region: Rowland Flat, Barossa Valley
Vineyard and Vinification:
Planted in 2000 on 1.5 acres of heavy red/black
soils, the vines produced 3.5 tonnes per acre.
The grapes were picked March in the 2006 season at 14°Baume. The grapes were crushed directly into an airbag press pressed heavy for
4 hours after crushing and then fermented as a white wine, resulting in 5 g/L residual sugar in the wine with delicate natural salmon pink hue.
Tasting Notes:
An attractive salmon pink shade. Produced in a dry style therefore allowing the fruit flavours to shine, this Rosé has a fragrant lifted
strawberry, cherry and rose petal nose with lingering berry flavours and a crisp, refreshing finish. The perfect wine for any occasion to
be enjoyed lightly chilled.
Alcohol: 12.8%.
Cellar: Enjoy now.
Closure: Screw cap.
Named in the Barossa Living (March 2007) Top 3 Barossa Rosés, alongside the Turkey Flat and Charles Melton wines.
