About

Inspired by the great Rosés of Provence, and grown upon marine limestone soils in our very similar coastal McLaren Vale climate, comes our finest Rosé yet.

Fresh and balanced with vibrant strawberry, raspberry and cream notes, wrapped up in quenching acidity and a clean dry finish.

Winemaking

Vintage Conditions

The 2023/2024 season began with a wet and windy spring, continuing rain into summer that saturated soil moisture levels. February and March provided perfect conditions, with mild days and nights allowing fruit to ripen beautifully. Vintage started in mid-February, with most blocks harvested in March, marking a return to the norm, albeit with below-average yields.

Maker Notes

Grenache grapes were machine harvested and rushed directly to press where the grapes sat on skins for 4-6 hours to get desired 'rosé' colour. Cool fermentation in tank over 15 days. Some lees stirring to add some texture and complexity.
