Wine Description
Chalmers Rosato is made from Aglianico, a variety that originates from Southern Italy and are growing on the prized top block at our Heathcote vineyard on Mount Camel Ridge. It’s a wonderfully complex rocky site with green basalt, ironstone, dolerite and fractured limestone. The block gives a distinct elegance and prettiness to the red varieties grown there, even though this variety is usually more muscular.
Fermented in old oak barrels results is an imminently drinkable dry and textural rose that’s just not joy in a glass, but a wine that has substance and a savoury interest coming from the variety, the site its grown, and the hands-off approach to wine making.
