Estate Rosé 2024 Margaret River (Dry)

Tasting Notes

It presents a delicate, super-pale pink hue that invites you to explore its aromatic complexity. The nose is vibrant and fresh, with lifted scents of blood orange, mandarin, white cherry, and a subtle hint of rosewater, creating a fragrant and inviting profile. On the palate, the wine offers a refreshing, mouth-watering experience, with flavours of blood orange tang, rosehip tea, cranberry, and the slight bitterness of cherry stone phenolics.

The wine’s dryness, complemented by just 1.7g/L of residual sugar, imparts a graceful, elegant mouthfeel. The clean, crisp finish lingers delicately, making it an ideal companion for a variety of dishes or a refreshing sip on a warm day. This Rosé captures the essence of elegance and finesse, making it a standout example of the style.

Winemaking Process

This Rosé was crafted from hand-picked Shiraz grapes, harvested in the cool early hours of the morning to preserve the fresh fruit character. Upon arrival at the crush pad, the grapes were destemmed and lightly crushed before being chilled down to 8°C to retain their purity. The fruit was then lightly pressed, and the juice was transferred into stainless steel tanks for fermentation. Fermentation was carried out slowly at temperatures not exceeding 15°C to preserve the fresh, vibrant fruit flavours.

Special care was taken throughout the winemaking process to achieve the perfect pale colour, with minimal skin contact, ensuring that the wine’s delicate pink hue was achieved without overwhelming tannins or bitterness.
