Nose
This attractive and serious Rosé shows strawberry, red cherry, raspberry, blueberry and a touch of spice and floral notes in the mix on the nose.
Palate
The palate is a delightful mix of juicy ripe berries with fine acidity balancing the texture while a mineral dryness drives the length of the palate yet the lasting taste is of berries.
Growing Conditions
Located north of Margaret River township, Victory Point vineyard was established in 1998 by the Berson family to create premium wines. The totally unirrigated vines have been hand nurtured through the establishing years and are now producing extremely high quality fruit which truly reflects the vintage and site conditions each year.
Harvest
The fruit for our Rosé was picked on 13th March at 11.5-13 Baume.
Winemaking
On delivery to the winery the whole bunches were destemed, crushed and pressed with minimal skin contact of just 4 hours. The wine was then settled and racked off lees before being inoculated with a yeast (traditionally used for pinot noir) to bring out the spice and savory flavours. It was cold fermented to dryness and cold stabilised. 30% of the wine was fermented in old barriques to add texture and depth. The 2015 Rosé is made from 38% Malbec, 34% Pinot Noir and 28% Cabernet Franc. The completed wine is 13% alc/vol.
Appearance
