Australian Rose

100% pinot noir, hand picked, specifically for this rosé, wild-yeast fermented. Vibrantly fresh aromas and flavours; rose petals, violets and delicate spices on the bouquet, wild strawberries and raspberries on the mouth-watering palate. Great wine, not just great rosé. And it will repay cellaring. James Halliday Published 20 November 2021. Top 100 Wines of 2021. #rose

Hand-picked, whole bunch pressed, using the crémant cycle taking only the fresh free run. The clear juice was then racked to a stainless steel tank for a long cool ferment. Once the ferment was dry, the tank was given a quick chill before bottling in July. WHY? Inspired really by what we are seeing out of southern France - those pale, bone dry Rosé’s from Provence, but also, we are intrigued by the perfume of early picked Yarra Valley Pinot Syrah. When it is hand-picked and gently pressed, it has to be one of the great combinations for a dry Rosé - fresh and refreshing.

WINERY NOTE: Rosé by tradition, is a light red ideal for summer drinking. Majella has kept that tradition alive with our fifteenth release of rosé. A light, bright, pale salmon colour. Fragrant red fruit floral aromas with a soft and finely textured structure. Pretty strawberry, raspberry and pomegranate fruit notes linger on the palate, with a pleasantly soft finish. It's a wine for any occasion; serve chilled it's fantastic as an aperitif, but we reckon it's the perfect wine for a casual lunch. Ageing Potential: Produced for early consumption Winemakers: Bruce Gregory and Michael Marcus.
