Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
This 2018 Grenache Shiraz Rosé has a soft, pastel pink colour, with lifted strawberry, raspberry and cherry on the nose. Crisp and refreshing potpurri and fresh fruit flavours linger on the palate.
Vineyard Notes
The grapes for this wine were sourced from Angove Estate Vineyards as well as premium
growers across South Australia.
The Vintage was smaller than average as a result of dry conditions in the lead in to
flowering. These continuted through the growing season. A careful management of
our various blocks ensured we picked the grapes at the optimum time.
Winemaker Notes
This wine is all about expressing the vibrant strawberry of the Grenache with a clean
dry palate.
Grenache was harvested and crushed early in the season when not much colour is
present. It was left on skins for 12 hours prior to pressing. Only the free run juice
from this parcel was taken and fermented using a special sparkling wine yeast until
almost dry.
The Shiraz was harvested a little riper at 12.5 Baume and therefore is much deeper
in colour.
After crushing, it spends 24 hours on skins prior to pressing with the free run and
soft press being retained. The soft press fraction brings structure to the wine,
making it perfect with a wide array of dishes. The Shiraz (39%) is fermented dry
and then blended with the Grenache. (64%) Harvesting at moderate sugar levels ensures a perfect natural acid balance in the final wine.
Food Pairing Notes
Asian-inspired salad, tapas, or just by itself as the sun slowly sets.
