2024 FE Rosé

Colour A bright blush of red & pink.

Nose Fresh and lifted aromatics of red currant, cherry blossom and watermelon.

Palate The palate is juicy and flavoursome with a soft and delicate mouthfeel. Bright and fleshy fruit notes of crunchy red apple, watermelon and ripe raspberry are balanced by a delicate grape sweetness and a soft, citrus acid line.

A select parcel of young-vine Shiraz was picked early to retain natural acids and bright fruit aromatics. Pressed off skins after 18hrs, the resultant bright pink juice was fermented cool in stainless steel – with fermentation stopped early to retain a hint of natural grape sugar.
