A challenging 2009 vintage due to early rain and cool temperatures throughout vintage meant our biodynamic berries ripened extremely slowly, contributing to gentle and even ripening.  The fruit for this rosé was picked earlier than those shiraz blocks marked for red wine production, meaning the fruit was harvested at the perfect maturity, ripeness and acidity levels to produce a dry, refreshing style of rosé.  The berries were whole punch pressed allowing very limited contact with skins to achieving a bright ruby-red colour.   

This shiraz rosé exhibits a delicate mix of Turkish delight, cherry confectionary and almond nougat on the nose, while the palate is light-bodied and refreshing, with natural shiraz fruit sweetness and a lingering finish.
