2025 Audrey Wilkinson Rose

Made from Merlot, Shiraz and Semillon, the fruit was loaded into the press and immediately pressed off, resulting in juice that had the right amount of pink colour. The juice as cold settled for 48 hours, racked clean and fer- mented at cool temperatures in stainless steel with an aromatic yeast strain to promote fresh fruit characters. The wine was then lightly fined, filtered and bottled early to retain its freshness.

Made from a blend of Pokolbin sites planted to merlot and shiraz, gently pressed as whole berries to extract a delicate blush-pink hue. It smells of warm strawberries, sweet watermelon and a hint of citrus zest. The palate has beautiful flow and freshness, and it holds its flavour when chilled. - 94 points, Toni Paterson
