Gioia Rosé 2024 (Dry)

Tasting Notes:

In the glass, the 2024 Gioia Rosé presents a vibrant deep pink colour that hints at the wine’s rich, expressive profile. The nose is dominated by enticing aromas of fresh strawberries, cream, and a hint of floral notes. On the palate, cherry and berry flavours take centre stage, with a soft creaminess that balances the bright, crisp acidity, leading to a clean, dry finish. The wine’s complexity is enhanced by the subtle richness derived from its extended skin contact, making it both fresh and satisfying.

Food Pairing Suggestions:

• Grilled Prawns: The fruit-forward profile of the rosé pairs perfectly with seafood dishes, especially grilled prawns.
• Fresh Seafood Platter: The wine’s freshness complements the delicate flavours of fresh seafood.
• Charcuterie: Ideal with a variety of cured meats and cheeses, such as goat’s cheese or brie.
• Chicken Salad Wrap: A light and refreshing pairing for a casual meal.

Ferguson Wine Region

The Ferguson Valley and surrounds (Geographe) sits about 15 to 30 mins East and Southwest of Bunbury and is home to a number of small boutique wineries. It’s majestic rolling hills, and the changes between the prevailing summer easterlies to the afternoon sea breeze makes for a diverse set of microclimates.

The Geographe region has a rich and vibrant history in grape cultivation, earning its esteemed wine appellation status in 1999. While relatively young, this appellation has increasingly attracted new winemakers since the 2000s. Named after Geographe Bay, initially explored by French navigator Baudin in 1801 aboard his ships, the Geographe and the Naturaliste, the region now hosts 57 winegrowers, 26 producers, and cultivates 36 different grape varieties.

The terroir of the Geographe Wine Region is influenced by its maritime climate, with warm summer temperatures moderated by Indian Ocean breezes year-round. With an average annual temperature of 22.4°C, supplemented by water from the Collie River, the region is ideal for viticulture. Winters bring heavy rainfall, varying from 500-800mm a year. Geographe contributes ten percent to Western Australia’s wine industry, with vineyards reaching a maximum altitude of 400 meters, situated on limestone soil that holds water well along the coast, promoting drainage and mineral-rich content. Coastal vineyards feature low soil fertility, extending ripening times for smaller berries with intense aromas and concentrated flavours, while inland vineyards benefit from higher fertility derived from sandy loam and gneissic rock.
