Winemakers Comments
This wine was a true joy to create. A fun, experimental blend of Syrah, Savagnin, Pinot Gris with a little Riesling and Gewurtz thrown in the mix too. The result is this dry, fresh, perfumed and very more-ish Rosé!
Cloak & Dagger Rosé
What grape varieties are in this wine?
Syrah, Savagnin, Pinot Gris.
Where are the grapes grown?
Multiple wine regions within Victoria - Heathcote, Yarra Valley and King Valley.
What does it smell like?
Wild strawberries, elderflower, watermelon and a subtle hint of vanilla.
How about the taste?
Refreshingly dry with bright red berries, fleshy peaches and subtle savoury notes all supported by a crisp acidity and a long persistent finish.
What food goes with it?
Anything grilled on a barbecue! Think five-spiced quail, char-grilled octopus, smoky eggplant or chorizo.
How is it made?
The Shiraz was machine harvested in the cool of the evening and transported to the winery for immediate pressing. The free run was cold settled overnight and racked for ferment with aromatic yeast. The Pinot Gris and Savagnin were both pressed individually, cold settled and racked for a cool slow ferment. All parcels were sulphured after primary ferment and blended for bottling with minimal fining.
For the wine geeks!
Does this wine spend any time in oak barrels?
Not for this wine! It was matured in stainless steel.
