Philip Shaw Pink Billy Saignee is made from the free run juice extracted from a sample of grapes collected across the vineyard’s sorting table. The berries were selected on weight and colour. Merlot forms 50% of the blend while Shiraz and Cabernet Franc make up the balance equally.
Pink Billy Saignee is light salmon pink in colour, with aromas of strong berry fruit characters. The flavour is creamy and soft with excellent texture married with subtle but powerful fruit characters. It is dry and savoury without being astringent, showing off great length of flavour.
Vineyard | Koomooloo Vineyard, Orange NSW
Varieties | Merlot 35.5%, Syrah 35.5%, Cabernet Franc 22% and Pinot noir 6%
Bouquet | Pink Billy is pale pink salmon. Bright and fresh; a particularly complex dry rose with enticing ripe berry driving both palate and bouquet.
Palate | Softly textured, lovely fruit weight and depth of flavour along with a savoury finish makes this an incredibly moreish wine.

A cool climate region can be defined as an area with heat degree days of 1600 or less. Cool nights in the growing season, large diurnal variation, long cool autumns and distinct seasons are also key factors in defining a cool climate region.
Orange is one of a handful of regions in Australia that fall into this category. Orange is unique among these regions due to the cool climate being the result of continental conditions rather than latitude.
