Pale salmon in colour, the 2023 Rosé entices with fresh aromas of strawberry, raspberry and cherry blossom. Delicately textured on the palate, with poised fruit and lively acidity, enjoy this delicious wine chilled. Perfumed aromas of strawberry, raspberry and cherry blossom flow onto the palate, showing great fruit weight and a silky texture, finishing with crisp acidity and great length of flavour.
The Season
The 2023 vintage was a rewarding year with dry weather and low disease pressure. A cool start to spring led to delayed budburst followed by a gentle ripening period. The whites are highly aromatic with beautiful flavour and acidity. The reds finished with wonderful fruit intensity and elegantly structured tannins. Another great season for the Margaret River region.

Vinification
Shiraz and grenache grapes were harvested separately on 22 February then immediately crushed and pressed into tank. The juice was then clarified using flotation and transferred into a stainless-steel tank for fermentation. The wine was racked off gross lees post ferment, and stored on fine lees in tank for a further 4 months prior to filtering and bottling in July 2023.
