First Glance: smashable McLaren Vale rosé
Acclaim: 91 Points
Classic Shiraz meets not-so-classic Touriga Nacional, the Portuguese VIP grape capable of big depth and oompf when vinified as a Douro Valley redwine. And yes, this McLaren Vale rose has good depth of flavour, soft edges and plenty of red-berry-goodness, but with incredible freshness at just 11.4 ABV. Yum!
Grapes are co-fermented in old oak and the wine sees no aggressive filtering.
The Review
91 Points, Mike Bennie, The Wine Front
Rose made from touriga nacional from McLaren Vale. There’s eight rows here, a recent planting. Pressed to old barrels. Bit of a bargain here.
Fragrant rose, pretty with rose hip tea and rose water scents, a touch of cranberry. Crisp in texture, a juiciness too, cranberry and pomegranate flavours, watermelon granita too. Very easy to like, fruity, fun, fresh, good. Done.
