Sangiovese Rosé has a vastly different feel and flavour to rosés made from other red grape varieties. The Little Wine Co Sangiovese Rosé combines the great drinkability of rosé but with an added textural dimension.

The Sangiovese grapes are grown on a southwest-facing slope in the Broke-Fordwich subregion of the Hunter Valley. The vineyard lies at the foot of the sandstone cliffs on free draining “mountain wash” soil. The open canopy and excellent aspect allow for steady ripening and excellent colour development.

Almost 30% of the juice was frained from the Sangiovese grapes prior to fermentation to produce this rosé. The rosé juice was fermented in stainless steel at cooler temperatures to enhance the fruit aromas and the wine was bottled nice and early in April to capture the full fruit flavour.

With its strawberry and cream flavours this is simply a delicious, easy drinking rosé. It has a round silky mouth feel, aromas of fruit tingles and blood plum and a long, lingering finish. Made from 100% Sangiovese, our rosé is enticing and the ultimate in drinkability. Chill and drink as an aperitif or with any summer style meal.

Description

The Little Wine Company

The Little Wine Company is a boutique winery comprised of husband-and-wife winemaking team Ian and Suzanne Little.

The Little Wine Company was founded in 2000 by Suzanne and Ian Little and specialise in alternative varieties. Both Suzanne and Ian spent their early careers making the traditional varieties of the Hunter Valley – Shiraz, Semillon and Chardonnay. So when the two decided to strike out with their own label, they chose to experiment with new varieties. Now, after more than 20 years of pioneering new and emerging varieties in the Hunter Valley, their range of wines reflects their long and winding road of discovery.

At the time the Littles owned a large vineyard in Pokolbin, however they realised that one patch wouldn’t be enough for the range of varieties they wanted to create. They then established strong relationships with smaller, supportive growers in the Broke Fordwich region to trial these new varieties and have continued these relationships.
