Shiraz grapes harvested for Rosé we separated at the winery, the free-run juice allocated to 'the social' Rosé whilst the pressings were fermented separately to be used for this wine. Three and four year old French barriques were used for the aging the wine for 10 months on lees undergoing partial malolactic fermentation. The wine has minimal fining & filtration.

A complex and rich palate reminiscent of strawberries and cream, the flavour intensity means that it will not be overpowered as easily as a regular rosé, so some grilled meats like lamb, pork and chicken will work, as well as more umami flavours, such as sun dried tomatoes & peppers and aged cheeses.
