Wine Description
Winemaking: Estate grown in our Mt Barker vineyard. Made from Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. Picked at night to ensure minimum colour pick-up, whole bunch pressed with only 6 hours skin contact.
Story: The Cabernet family grapes are a champion varietal for Rosé. They have a reputation for producing some of the finest Rosé wines. By combining Cabernet Francs proven elegance with Cabernet Sauvignon’s structure and weight, with the natural acidity and elegance of the Adelaide Hills terroir, we have created an exciting fresh and clean style Rosé.
Taste: Luscious on the palate with hints of strawberry, blueberry, roses and spring flowers. Flavours of ripe berries. Notes of floral and herbs balance the bright acidity and mouth watering dry finish
