Production Details The Rosé is a blend of Shiraz and Cinsault, gently crafted and aged in old barrels to protect the floral aromatics, juicy fruit and delicate yet fresh finish. Made to be enjoyed with friends. The grapes are hand harvested in the morning. Whole bunches are pressed while the cold juice goes to tank to settle. After 24h of settling, the juice is racked to tanks for fermentation. After fermentation is complete, the wine is moved to old barrels and matured in barrel for up to 12 months. Barrels are racked just before bottling to make up the final blend.
