About this Wine

Vineyard

We dedicated 50% of our Estate Shiraz block to making this rosé. The fruit was grown on 25 year old vines in grey clay pebbled with mudstone and ironstone. These vines were spur pruned with VSP trellising to ensure good fruit exposure to morning sunlight and airflow. The rosé fruit was harvested in the early morning whilst cool, twenty days before its red wine sibling. This ensured great natural acidity and a moderate alcohol level.

Winemaking

The fruit was cool harvested at sunrise and pressed immediately with the aim of making a fresh, fruit driven rosé with a touch of blush colour. The juice was settled in a stainless steel tank before a cold fermentation. Fermenting at a cold temperature helps protect the fresh fruit/floral aromas, ensuring they make their way into the bottle.

Sensory Analysis

The attractive pale pink hue suggests the wine has been handled with care throughout the winemaking process. The aroma is bright and fresh, reminiscent of cherries, red apples and Life Savers lollies. The palate is lively at first but settles down in the glass to become soft, almost creamy in texture. It’s clean, elegant, and floral, showing blackcurrant, nougat and a little ruby grapefruit on the dry finish. This is delicious drinking and dangerously moreish.

Yarra Valley Wine

The Yarra Valley wine region is the most important area of wine production in Victoria today, and with its proximity to Melbourne, also the most visited in the state.

Yarra Valley is split into the Upper Yarra and the valley floor. The Upper Yarra is cooler in climate due to its elevation and coupled with younger, fertile, red soils produces most of the region’s notable varietals: Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. The valley floor is warmer and has predominantly grey soils with pockets of granite and limestone.

Pinot noir has long been considered a notoriously difficult variety to grow. However, the cool climate and longer growing seasons of the Yarra Valley allow the fruit to develop full flavoured and ripe character.

Chardonnay in the past has long been associated with a deep oily, buttery style that experiences full malolactic fermentation and great amounts of oak. This style has since fallen out of favour and wine makers in the Yarra Valley have capitalized on this trend to produce leaner, acid driven Chardonnays that are closer in style to those from Burgundy.
