Wine Style and Cultivars: Syrah Rosé from 100% Syrah grapes giving a nice and refreshing medium bodied Rosé.
Wine Tasting Notes: A medium boddied, dry rosé with a delicate pale-salmon colour. Perfumed aromas of violet, sweet cherry, peach and brioche are present on the nose. !e acidity is zesty, but the texture on the palate silky with a good weight on the mid-palate, finishing with flavours of strawberries and spice.
Viticulture and Terroir: 100% Syrah grapes harvested from a North facing slope 176m to 184m above sea level. Grapes are harvested in the cool mornings, crushed slightly, and pressed.
Vinification And Maturation: The juice is settled overnight then racked. Recovery is 550l per ton to ensure good colour and texture. Two yeast strains are used to add complexity and depth. 15% of the wine is fermented in older 500litre barrels and the rest in stainless steel tanks. The wine is kept on the lees for five months, after fermentation, prior to bottling.
Food Pairing: The Rosé 2023 will pair well with light salads, light pastas, seafood, and goats’ cheeses. Ideally served chilled at 10°C
