2016 Fermoy Fe Rosé

Varietals: 97% Shiraz; 3% Sauvignon Blanc

Appearance: Vibrant reddish pink.

Aroma: Fresh and lifted aromatics of red apple, rosewater, musk and watermelon.

Palate: The palate is juicy and flavoursome with a soft and delicate mouthfeel. Bright and fleshy fruit notes of watermelon and raspberry are balanced by a delicate grape sweetness and a soft, citrus acid line.

Winemaking: A select parcel of young-vine Shiraz was picked early to retain natural acids and bright fruit aromatics. Pressed off skins after 18hrs, the resultant bright pink juice was fermented cool in stainless steel – with fermentation stopped early to retain a hint of natural grape sugar.

Oak Detail: Nil. This wine was fermented cool in stainless steel tanks to ensure maximum retention of aromatics and fruit flavour.

Food Pairing: Antipasto.

Alcohol Volume:12.5%
Acidity: pH 3.12; TA 6.75g/L
