This exquisite blend consists of 66% Chardonnay from Strathbogie, 29% Pinot Noir from the Yarra Valley, and 5% Vermentino from Heathcote. The wine is a unique assemblage of four vintages, expertly combined to balance freshness, complexity, and texture. The Chardonnay component includes tank-fermented 2021 vintage for crisp structure, complemented by a touch of 2019 for depth. The 2018 Pinot Noir imparts vibrant red fruit and subtle spice notes, while also lending the wine its distinctive pale salmon hue. Vermentino from 2020 adds weight and a silky mouthfeel, rounding out the profile beautifully.
On the nose, expect delicate aromas of red berries layered over a subtle yeasty and toasty base, indicative of careful fermentation techniques. The palate is lively and refined, with fresh stone fruit flavors, fine tracer bubbles, and a balanced acidity that invites another sip. This sparkling rosé offers a great mouthfeel that is both refreshing and sophisticated.
