Complex Carmenere Rose’ exudes aromas of dark cherry sherbet, tamarillo, and jasmine. Woven into a pale pink delight brimming with flavours of cherry, black plum, tamarillo, and rhubarb jelly.
Winemaker: Anita Ewart-Croy
A less than favourable summer finally relented, allowing the later ripening reds to develop some flavour and complexity. Pressed immediatly on arrival at the winery, the Carmenere juice was lightly clarified before being inoculated with aromatic yeast. The ferment was controlled with cool temperatures to retain delicate flavour and aroma. Once the flavours were all in balance, the ferment was stopped to retain just a hint of residual sugar.
Enjoy With …
Wonderful as an aperitif, this Rose’ will also partner perfectly with fresh goat cheese, salami and chicken pate’.
Cellaring Recommendation
Traditionally enjoyed within the first year of creation, however this wine has such complexity, this should develop further over a couple of years.
