Region: McLaren Vale
Variety: Grenache || Mourvedre
What's in the glass: The fruit source is the same as the dry red versions. Rende Grenache (66%) and Yangarra Mourvèdre (34%) both organic and Bio-dynamic certified, in Blewitt Springs. 2022 was the second mild vintage in succession. Slightly cooler and with more rainfall during the season, harvest was a couple of weeks later than the previous year.
Both blocks were hand harvested on the 9th March and combined as whole bunches and direct pressed. After a night of cold settling the juice was rough racked and begun spontaneous fermentation in three vessel types. Steel tanks, eggs and a concrete sphere. They all added different attributes and character to this textural and energetic rosé. After full malo-lactic fermentation the wine was racked off gross lees and continued elevage in tank and sphere for a further four months prior to bottling without fining or filtration.
