Winemaking Notes:
Sangiovese makes a fabulous crisp, fresh, dry rosé, with bright
colours, aromas and flavours. The variety is famous for its aromas
of cherries, firm tannin, and relatively high acidity. We take a
‘protective’ approach to making this wine: gently pressed after a
few hours of contact between juice and skins (which guarantees
light but bright colour); fermented cool to dryness and bottled
early to retain freshness. This all ensures that we have a wine that is
a very pure expression of the variety and site.
Vineyard Report:
A much cooler and later vintage than normal, The Rosedale Road
block was harvested in the early morning hours when it is the
coolest. A quick efficient pick and straight into the winery for
processing to minimise field skin contact and let winemaking have
the control.
Tasting Note:
Drink it chilled, but not so cold that the lovely cherry and floral
aromas are suppressed; then savour its gentle, savoury, textured
finish.
Food Pairing:
Being a vibrant, fresh rosé it is ideal when paired with antipasto,
fresh seafood, or Asian dishes that carry a touch of chili.
