2021 Rose
Appearance
Pale salmon in colour.
Bouquet
Lifted bouquet of red fruits, red currant, some musk, and orange rind.
Palate
Intensely flavoured palate of red fruits and under-ripe plum notes, balanced by a savoury pithy backbone, and fresh acidity driving the finish.
Fermentation
Hand harvested fruit was whole bunch pressed into stainless steel tank, with minimal skin contact. Then fermented at 13 degrees C for 14 days, with lees contact post ferment for 3 months, then fined, filtered, and bottled in June 2021, retaining fresh fruit driven characters and firm acidity.
Conclusion
Best consumed young while expressing the bright fruit driven characters.
