Winemakers Comments: Vintage 2024 was just about the perfect vintage. Warm but not too hot, and bone dry during the growing season, was welcome change from the past couple of years, allowing the fruit to ripen steadily. Meanwhile, cool nights kept acids and freshness high. With decent yields across the board, we had flexibility in our winemaking, selecting the best parcels and blending to make a suite of wines we are super stoked with, and excited to share with the world
Wild fermented in stainless steel, Nero d’Avola is a native Sicilian variety that is perfect suited to the hot, dry climate of the Riverland. An incredibly versatile variety, while many know Nero d’Avola for the big bold reds of Sicily, with its sour cherry and naturally high acidity, we feel it is the perfect variety for Rose.
After crushing, the fruit was left to soak on skins for 6 hours, giving the wine it’s the lovely blush pink color.
Style/Palate: Pink color. On the palate, a certain elegance – these fruit forward flavors persist, while the classic Nero d’Avola acidity comes in to keep things fresh and crunchy; evolving the flavors into a slightly underripe stonefruit spectrum – white peach or nectarine.
Aormas: The nose charges at you with candied strawberry, rose petal and that ubiquitous but undeniable strawberries and cream aroma that keep going and going.
Award/Score: Wine Front – 88 point (2022 Vintage)
