Tasting Notes

Aroma

Peaches and cream, quarry dust, mandarin flesh and hints of complexing nutmeg spice.

Appearance

Pale penny copper with hints of salmon.

Palate

A generous mouth filling palate shows rich peaches and cream that flows on and on. The grenache gives the wine lovely mouth-coating texture and warmth. The palate is long and flowing with oodles of flavour. The fine lacey tannins frame the wine, whilst fine acidity keeps the palate fresh and crunchy. The 2023 Minnow Rose is a dangerously drinkable wine best enjoyed chilled with friends on a warm day.

Vinification

Hand harvested fruit was immediately gently whole bunch pressed to give minimal colour and tannin extraction. Wild fermentation occurred in older French barrels. The wine rested on lees to relax and unwind for five months prior to assemblage and bottling in September 2023.

Cellaring Potential

Winemakers Comments

Good spring rains and a cool growing season led to good crop levels with lots of canopy growth in the Shadowfax Werribee Minnow vineyard. The Grenache and Cinsault had superb aromatics, with the Mataro and Syrah giving lovely texture and depth.

    A licorice-all-sorts rosé, with seven varieties going into making it. Turns out a coppery hue with lots of citrus, from lemon and mandarin to blood orange, with zest too. Plush and fleshy with flavours of musk and ripe strawberries swishing across the palate; soft acidity to close. Points: 91/100
