Whistler Wines Dry as a Bone Rosé 2023 (6 Bottles) Barossa Valley

by Whistler Wines

$198.00 GST Included

SHIPPING INCLUDED AUSTRALIA WIDE

A blend of 64% Mataro & 36% Grenache. The Grenache component was grown here on our own vineyards using organic and biodynamic practices while the Mataro comes from older vine material in Greenock. Each variety was picked and made separately. Our soils are quite shallow and have outcrops of ironstone in the vineyard, which gives the wine a nice savoury edge.

Very pale pastel pink, almost brassy in colour, with aromas of red apple, fresh raspberries, cherries and strawberry yogurt. The palate is dry, but has great fruit weight and great length. There is some complexity on the palate from the lees stirring. The perfect drink for a sunny day!

The juice was pressed away from the skins within 4hrs of harvest to ensure that the colour of the rose was not too dark. Fermented in a stainless steel tank to retain freshness & lees stirred to produce a creamy character in the wine, which also helps to soften the acid and make the mouthfeel more rounded.
