Handpicked off the 1965 Vines at Rosehill, the selected fruit was destemmed to open top fermenters for around 72 hours of cold soaking to extract color and tannin without alcohol. The must was allowed to warm and was inoculated with a neutral yeast strain and pumped over three times a day. The wine was pressed just before dryness and MLF underwent in the tank. The finished wine was then racked to less than 20% new puncheons for 9 months before blending.

Colour

Aroma
Intense red fruits of raspberry, mulberry, and blueberry all combine with classic Rosehill violet notes with some subtle spice from maturation in wood.

Palate
Beautiful red fruits drive the length of the palate with intensity and focus. Some lovely supporting oak provides a subtle backbone with wonderful natural acidity giving elegance.
