2022 'the social' Rosé - 12 Bottle Case

Harvested by selective machine early in the morning and taken off skins within 3 hours. The freerun juice was separated and used for this Rosé. The juice was settled for a few days to clarify, before being inoculated with an aromatic yeast strain to express the berry and floral notes of the juice. Fermentation took about 21 days to complete, and the wine was racked and sulphured straight away to keep it light and refreshing. The wine was fermented dry with an adjustment of 1g/l of residual sugar prior to bottling.

A classic example of the refreshing red fruit and savoury flavours that come from 100% cool climate shiraz. The fresh acidity and tangy red berry flavours will allow it to cut through and compliment any lighter dishes with fruit flavours, acidic, or salty elements. Mussels, oysters, fruit salads with berries, salsas and light pork dishes all have the ability to pair well.
