Alcohol Volume: 11%
A rare red variety in the Barossa, our Rosé crafted from the Spanish varietal Graciano, was born from a twist of fate. A neighbouring grower was left high and dry for a home for his Graciano, after his corporate supply contract was cancelled just days before it was due for picking. We took it in more as a favour at the time, but discovered it to be a fascinating varietal. Its skin colour is extremely concentrated and it has naturally high tannin, making it challenging to craft a lightly coloured Rosé from. Its natural acidity however and alluring Mulberry musk notes compelled us to treat it gently, to craft a salmon-hued, dry and mouth-watering wine. Colour: Pale salmon. Aroma: Rose petal, red apple skin and musk. Palate: Wild strawberry, watermelon and pink lady apple. Food Pairing: Antipasto, sashimi or sushi rolls.
