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.
