Nose
Intensely floral and perfumed with vibrant ripe strawberries.
Palate
Wild strawberries and cherry ripe are matched by a smooth, creamy mouthfeel with a savoury edge. The wine builds through the mid-palate with vibrant acidity and a dry finish.
Harvest
A mild spring at the start of the growing season, lead into to a dry early summer providing ideal growing conditions. The challenge of several summer rainfall events later in the season was managed with great care by the viticultural team, where their attention to detail resulted in fruit that produced expressive, flavourful wines.
Winemaking
This wine is produced solely from Margaret River fruit and made to sit alongside the very best wines from Deep Woods Estate. The aim was to make a contemporary style of rosé; nuanced and delicate, yet full-flavoured.
Tempranillo and Shiraz were sourced from vineyards in the Yallingup Hills and slow, carefully managed ferments allowed for a Rosé of great character and expression. The wine was also blended with a small portion of hand-picked, barrel-fermented Vermentino for texture and complexity.
Appearance
Pale salmon pink.
Food Pairing
Fresh nicoise salad with seared tuna and anchovies.
