Vinification
Shiraz grapes were harvested in the cool early morning at 21.9°B and whole-bunch pressed at a gentle 1.4 bar. The only skin contact occurred during the two-hour press cycle. After pressing, the juice was allowed to settle for two days before fermentation began. Fermentation proceeded over 22 days, after which the wine was left on the lees for two months prior to filtration, and bottling.

Winemaker's Comments
This rosé is bursting with strawberries, peach and rose petal aromas. The palate is crisp and refreshing, supported by balanced acidity and a smooth, gentle texture. The finish is clean, fresh, and delicately fruity. Drink through 2028.
Food Pairing Suggestion
Delicious with charcuterie, smoked salmon, grilled prawns, Mediterranean salads, sushi, summer picnics and light pasta dishes.
