Vintage 2009

Vibrant crimson in colour this wine displays a wonderful sweet strawberry nose continuing onto the palate and finishing slightly dry.

Shiraz Pinot Rose is a wine ideal with food especially with Pizza, antipasto & BBQ meats.

Winemaking

The Shiraz and Pinot Noir grapes were machine harvested in the cool of the early morning. At the winery, they were crushed and de-stemmed and the juice was allowed to soak on the grape skins for about 2 hours. After soaking, the juice was pressed off the skins, before being clarified and then fermenting cool in a stainless steel tank. Maturation on the yeast sediment after fermentation was limited, as the wine was then stabilised, filtered and bottled within 4 months to retain it's freshness.
