Technical Notes

100% Grenache Rose, The fruit was hand selected by our Winemaker and specially selected for our Grenache Rose. The quality of Grenache grape was pivotal, as it had to preserve a full intensity and complexity of flavours while containing the dryness and delicacy of structure the wine now has.After harvesting in the cool of night, the free run juice was drained once the colour and flavour was deemed right by the winemaker. Raspberry and strawberry aromas were sought after with a light attractive pink rose colour also the aim. Careful reductive handling was employed to ensure that the juice was not oxidised and freshness was maintained. Cold settling of the juice at 1oC for a week ensured a crystal clear juice was admitted to fermentation. Different yeast strains were used to add complexity to the wine and to build additional mouthfeel and to add fruitiness. The wine has been held in temperature controlled vessels throughout its life at 10-12oC to maintain freshness and avoid premature aging.

Tasting Notes

A vibrant pink which will turn an autumnal red with age. Nose of ripe raspberries and strawberry jam. The palate also shows berry jam freshness, softness a hint of sweetness and finishes with a crisp freshness and slight sweetness.
