The Mataro was hand picked and whole bunch pressed with no crushing to stainless steel tank to ferment. The ferment was kept cool to retain freshness and varietal character. Once ferment was complete the wine was kept on lees to add some texture.

A pale rose-gold colour in the glass. Classic strawberries and cream nose with a hint of dry earth as well. Crushed red fruits fill the mouth, there's a hint of cream and custard underneath which adds a pleasing richness. Acidity is present but drives the flow subtly to the long finish. An outstanding Rosé. - 94 points, Stuart Knox

About the region

South Australia · McLaren Vale

South Australia grows more wine than any other Australian state, and its subregions behave almost like separate countries. Barossa and Eden Valley give Shiraz and Riesling, McLaren Vale leans to Grenache, Clare Valley to dry Riesling, Adelaide Hills to Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, and Coonawarra to Cabernet on red terra rossa soil. Strict quarantine has kept phylloxera out, so some vineyards still work vines planted in the nineteenth century.
