Description

Inspired by the great, age-worthy and serious rosé wines of the south of France (Clos Cibonne, Chateau Simon and Domaine Tempier), our interpretation is barrel fermented in large old French oak, then lees aged for 11 months, creating a wine of freshness, depth, complexity and character.

A blend of Merlot, Shiraz, Pinot Noir, Malbec and Cabernet Sauvignon. Orangey salmon in colour, it offers exuberant aromatics of raspberry, cranberry, green almond, peppery spice and a subtle stoney complexity. The palate is crisp, yet concentrated, full of bright, spicy red berry fruit, creamy, lees-derived complexity and feathery tannins adding structure and savouriness.

A wonderful food wine, and one that will also gain in complexity in the medium term.

“Gary Farr (By Farr), Joshua Cooper and Robert Walters (Place of Changing Winds) should be
changing perceptions of Australian wine. These are in many cases delicate, elegant, refined wines
that deliver classic varietal expression and defy old stereotypes.”

“…Using grapes bought in from carefully chosen, non mainstream sources…However difficult the
bottles may be to get into, their contents are pretty impressive.”
