Growing Conditions
Fruit is sourced from neighboring properties in the northern Yallingup
sub-region of Margaret River. Direct input from Forester’s viticulturist
ensures well balanced canopies and crops are grown for the desired style.
The 2017 vintage was a cooler year in Margaret River, allowing plenty of
time during February and March to ripen the fruit to our specification
Bottling
Bottled under screwcap into a premium burgundy bottle.
Winemaking
The grapes were harvested early in the morning, then sent directly to the
winery for processing where the free run juice was separated from the
skins immediately to limit colour and phenolic extraction. The very clean
clarified juice was fermented at low temperatures with an inoculated
yeast in stainless steel tanks. The dry wine was racked off yeast lees
straight away after ferment to keep the wine clean and in pristine
condition with the resulting dry tanks being blended to produce a clean,
fruit driven rosé
Appearance
Rose gold.
Food Pairing
A range of light dining cuisine, summer salads, delicate cheeses and cured
meats.
