Winery notes (2022 Vintage)
"Our Domain Road vineyard is sited in a sheltered valley in the town of Bannockburn which provides a unique micro-climate, ideal for producing premium wines. Defiance vineyard is on nearby Felton Road with gently sloping North facing vines.
The Pinot Noir fruit for this Rosé comes from vines at both our Domain Road vineyard and Defiance vineyard. The same hand tended quality grapes go into making this wine as we use for our premium estate Pinot Noir.
With its traditional pale pink colour, our Rosé is aromatic with raspberry, strawberry, peach and white melon on the nose. A crisp dry wine it delivers sweet stone fruit, red berries, ripe strawberry and a hint of citrus on the palate. Complex, with good levels of concentration and minerality, leading to a cherry finish."
5 Stars Michael Cooper (2022 Vintage)
"The classy, vigorous 2022 vintage was grown at two sites at Bannockburn. Bright pink, it is instantly appealing, with fresh, generous peach, strawberry and watermelon flavours, a hint of apricot, and a basically dry (3.7 grams/litre of residual sugar), lasting finish. Retasted in late 2023, it still offers excellent drinking. Full-bodied, deep, lively and finely poised, it is probably at its peak."
