From a cool, dry vintage that is already being hailed in some quarters as one of the best ever in the Adelaide Hills, this year’s rosé has a 50% component of Sangiovese, from Forreston at about 360m above sea level. Downer notes this particular clone is well-suited for rosé—fleshy, juicy and pale-coloured—and one he's always wanted to work with. The rest of the blend is made up of Merlot (25%) and a white miscellany for the balance. Half the pick was tank-fermented cool to enhance the pretty aromatics, while the other was fermented in foudre and barrels to bring texture and interest. The resulting wine is bone-dry.

Reviews

"The light, bright crimson (no salmon) colour announces a wine that is all about fruit purity, nothing more, nothing less. Happily, it is an array of red cherry, strawberry and raspberry, then Meyer lemon acidity on finish."
91 points, James Halliday, Wine Companion
“A rose with gusto (a bit more under the hood). Flavourtown, dryness, a savoury vein and striking, watermelon-meets-blood orange fruit character. Fragrant, pale enough but bold enough and with some chalky grip. Lively, lush and refreshing. Does the job nicely.”
91 points, Mike Bennie, The Wine Front
"Attractive sliced strawberry and raspberry with light watermelon, too. Very perfumed. Good flavors with a core of raspberry fruit, bright acidity and a little grip around the flesh. Drink now. Screw cap."
