Barney Flanders grows and makes a mean Pinot Noir, so it’s no surprise he uses this grape to make his slinky and fleshy Mornington rosé. The fruit hails from a south-facing Pinot Noir block in Merricks. It was hand-picked, sorted and whole-bunch pressed on a slow, gentle cycle and then sent to old puncheons to ferment naturally, with no temperature control on full solids. The blend spent seven months on lees before bottling.

The result is a delicious and immensely drinkable rosé that’s jam-packed with texture and summer-fruit freshness. Expect a wine with a beautiful light colour and a pretty, red-fruited, floral and spicy personality. A touch of grip on the palate and lively acidity adds depth and a serious edge to what is a mouth-watering and invigorating wine. It finishes crunchy and fresh and is destined for sunshine enjoyment.
