Place
Our Symphony Rosé is from our Mount Surmon single vineyard at Stanley Flat. Its altitude sits at 400m and soil profile shows grey sandy loam over clay loam.
Vintage Conditions
Winemaking
Harvested at sunrise, the bunches were held in tank for 36 hours to release their natural blush from the skins into the juice. After free-draining and gentle basket pressing, the juice was cold settled for natural clarification. Allowed to warm and initiate a wild ferment, the wine was held at low temperatures so as to retain the bright varietal fruit aromas. The wine, once complete, was allowed to settle over a week before being racked and filtered for bottling.

An alluring and complex aroma of rose petals, guava and
watermelon.

Palate
The palate is dry, with vibrant fruits and driving fresh acidity. Nashi pear, rose water and ripe ruby grapefruit harmoniously linger on the palate.
