2010 Rose
Australia is ideally suited to producing and consuming wine as fruity, refreshing and reviving as an ice cool glass of Rosé. We enjoy the perfect climate and have the ideal grape varieties, as well as the perfect food culture to complement this style of wine.
Having been amongst the first to lead the great Rosé revival, it has been interesting to watch the popularity of this wine style grow. We dedicate one vineyard to Rosé ensuring continuity of style.
The 2010 vintage has delivered another great Rosé; a warm summer and a mild autumn provided perfect conditions for ripening Rosé varieties. Displaying a brilliant ruby colour, with soft tannins and a crisp, dry balanced finish with complexity and elegance.
