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 high pH gives the wine lovely mouth-coating texture and warmth.
The palate is long and flowing with oodles of flavour. The fine laced tannins
frame the wine and the fine acidity keeps the palate fresh and crunchy. The
2022 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 December 2024.
Vintage Notes
Good spring rains and a mild 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.
Food Matching
Garlic pizza, stuffed olives, duck and pomegranate salad.
