Growing Conditions

Vintage 2025 will be remembered as one of the driest periods in the history of the Wrattonbully region. Winter and Spring 2024 received below average rainfall and dry conditions continued throughout the growing season, meaning there was minimal disease pressure. Weather conditions remained warm and dry, so ripening was long and stable with no pressure to harvest. Strong varietal flavours developed with excellent colour and tannnins in the red varieties.

Nose

Wild strawberry, raspberry and red apple lifted by watermelon and lemon zest, with a pretty floral overtone and a savoury edge that adds another layer.

Palate

Fine, pure and textured, with youthful red-berry fruit and a touch of strawberries and cream carried by vibrant, chalky acidity and a subtle mineral thread. Cranberry and blood orange lend complexity, while a touch of savouriness keeps it grown-up rather than sweet. Bone dry, precise and mouthwatering, finishing long and clean. A most appealing modern rosé.

Appearance

Pale salmon

Food Pairing

Pairing beautifully with any food that packs a flavour punch and a group of friends with lots of laughs and banter.

Harvest

Picked early to keep the acidity bright and the fruit fresh, with no sweetness. Processed quickly for a light colour and balance.
