Screwcap/Stelvin

Rosé

The palate has massive intensity of fruit flavour – watermelon, wild strawberry tip, a bit of dried thyme, salty toasted sourdough, macerated just-ripe strawberries, cranberries, wild oats and Moroccan spice box, with lacy acidity pulling through the fruit intensity. Savoury characters and fruit notes walk the line well. Finely layered texture, plenty of fruit phenolics, and some grippier and slightly grainier oak tannins. The oak offers a little toastiness and slight vanilla fringing. An equilibrium of fruit, acid, structure and weight has produced a serious rosé with length and complexity. Hand-picked bush vine Mourvèdre with a small percentage of Grenache and Vermentino. Whole bunch, wild ferment in seasoned French oak barriques and three months on lees.
