Tillie J 'Anna's' Rose

The 2024 Tillie J Anna’s Rosé is a heartfelt tribute to a mother's love, offering a refreshing and vibrant profile that captures the essence of warmer days.

Location: Heathcote (Kennedy Vineyard), on the Cambrian slopes of Mount Camel, Victoria, Australia
Winemaking / Farming Techniques: Made from Shiraz clone 1854, the grapes are whole-bunch pressed, cold settled, then fermented in stainless steel with a rosé-specific yeast for bright, fruit-driven esters. After fermentation, the wine is chilled, settled again, sulphured, gently fined, filtered, and bottled. It is vegan-friendly.
Style/Body: Light-bodied and refreshing with a refined, dry profile.
Notes: Bright and vibrant aromatics of strawberries and cream mingle with delicate rose water. The palate features fresh ripe raspberries and finishes with an energetic pink grapefruit zest.
Descriptors: Strawberries & cream, rose water, raspberries, pink grapefruit, bright, energetic, refreshing.
Pairing Suggestions: Pairs beautifully with shellfish, white fish, light poultry, soft cheeses, or tomato-based dishes. A delightful aperitif that captures summer in a glass.
