In my book, rosé quite likes a warm vintage. With an 88%\u003cbr\u003eshare, Sangiovese is the hero of this wine, backed up with 8% barrel-fermented\u003cbr\u003eTempranillo. Then we chucked in 4% Grenache, too. Not sure why - just had it and it\u003cbr\u003eworked - and, as in the past, don’t tell anyone; it hasn’t made the label but it helped\u003cbr\u003emake the wine! \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis wine is fine, ethereally light and delicious – I hate the term smashable as it sounds crass, so let’s go with this wine takes you too pleasure town. It’s what Ron Burgundy\u003cbr\u003eand Veronica Cornerstone would drink if they came to Margaret River.\u003cbr\u003eThe fruit comes from the sub-region of Carbunup, with the sites being relatively flat\u003cbr\u003eand warm, with fertile, red sandy soils. The Sangiovese was harvested on 17 and 19th\u003cbr\u003eMarch and the Tempranillo just prior on 10th – a touch laterthan the previous year.\u003cbr\u003eThe Sangiovese was simply destemmed, chilled and pressed using only the free-run\u003cbr\u003efraction of the juice. It was then fermented at moderate temperatures using, as always,\u003cbr\u003eindigenous yeasts only. It was then matured on gross lees for three months postfermentation to add additional texture. The Tempranillo was handpicked and, after\u003cbr\u003echilling, whole bunch-pressed directly to old oak for fermentation. Fermentation took\u003cbr\u003efour weeks, and the wine received a further eight weeks’ maturation in barrel. At this\u003cbr\u003estage the final blend between Sangiovese and Tempranillo was decided, and the wine\u003cbr\u003ewas emptied from tank\/barrel, settled, filtered, sulphured and bottled on 14th July.\u003cbr\u003eThis wine, in keeping with the theme of SR4, is different. It’s more Sangiovese-based\u003cbr\u003eand finer than in the past. That said the texture and structure are impeccable. Those\u003cbr\u003ewho miss out on a magnum of this for their summer “A” list super-yacht regattas hold\u003cbr\u003etheir vinous credentials too cheap. It is, as always, a pale salmon dream best drunk\u003cbr\u003ewearing white xxx – Julian Langworthy\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nocturne","offers":[{"title":"1 Bottle","offer_id":31552644546669,"sku":"CELNR22","price":34.88,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"6 Bottle Case","offer_id":41435056767085,"sku":"CELNR22-6","price":189.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1421\/5622\/products\/2019_Nocturne_SR_Sangiovese_Nebbiolo_Rose_700x_152ff35b-e045-4778-95e4-7a0cad870582.jpg?v=1697020462"},{"product_id":"nocturne-sr-chardonnay","title":"Nocturne ‘SR’ Chardonnay 2025","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"columns\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"column main\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product info detailed\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product data items mage-tabs-disabled\" role=\"tablist\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"data item content\" aria-labelledby=\"tab-label-description\" id=\"description\" data-role=\"content\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-hidden=\"false\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product attribute description\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"value\"\u003eThis wine is, unsurprisingly, just right.
