Tasting note
A delicious, dry, structural & textural premium rosé. Think bright cherries & berry aromas; peaches & cream with a hint of savoury spice on the palate, the French Oak maturation and malolactic fermentation contributes to the indulgent mouthfeel and creamy finish.
Viticulture
Heinrich vineyard's Old Vine Grenache and Mourvèdre from Rowland Flat's Trial Hill. Grenache: 'Barossa Survivor Vines' over 70 years old. Hand-pruned gnarly old vines, sprawl canopies balance light, shade, and wind, nurturing the fruiting zones.
Vinification
Wild-fermented. Set in seasoned Leroi & Ermitage French 500L puncheon barrels for 3 months. Bottled unfined for maximum texture (i.e. making it vegan friendly).
Food Match
The subtle oak influence makes this wine insanely food friendly; pair with pan-fried salmon, grilled spiced duck or some thinly sliced smokey prosciutto and a soft goats cheese (i.e. perfect for the picnic basket).
