Location: Yarra Valley, Victoria, Australia

Winemaking / Farming Techniques: This wine is crafted predominantly from Syrah (95%) with a small addition of Viognier (5%), sourced from a single vineyard in the Gruyere subregion of the Yarra Valley. The grapes undergo co-fermentation, followed by ageing in neutral oak barrels for six months. The winemaking process includes several hours of skin contact, resulting in a deep, ruby hue. The wine is bottled unfined and unfiltered, preserving its natural character.

Style/Body: Full-bodied and opulent, with a creamy texture and concentrated flavours.

Notes: On the nose, the wine presents aromas of rosella blooms, pomegranate, and salted dried plums. The palate is vibrant, featuring fresh raspberries, sweet strawberries, and a touch of residual fruit sweetness that enhances its velvety tannins. The finish is long, with a pleasing grip and subtle notes of baking spices.

Descriptors: Rosella blooms, pomegranate, salted dried plums, fresh raspberries, sweet strawberries, baking spices, creamy texture.

Pairing Suggestions: This versatile dark rosé pairs well with a variety of dishes. It complements crispy fried pork floss served over mushroom porridge with a gooey egg, enhancing the savoury flavours.
