The Range
Not far from the mountains, where the Murray still runs deep and clear, is a great curve in the river. Planted here is our vineyard where gnarled old vines send their roots deep into the rose-coloured sandy soils. Premium wines have been made and enjoyed here at St Leonards since 1860.
The Wine
Rosé is the perfect drink for the warm afternoons and balmy evenings of spring and summer. A seductive pink colour, it is beautifully refreshing, with soft berry fruit and lovely spice aromatics with a crisp, clean dry finish.
Variety
The 2018 Rosé was made from a blend of Cabernet Franc (58%) and Cabernet Sauvignon (42%); the Cabernet Sauvignon adds fresh berry aromas and flavours while the Cabernet Franc is the savoury element and has a delicate spicy note which is lovely on the finish of this dry aromatic rosé style.
Winemaking
“Proper” rosé is made by macerating red grapes for a short period before pressing and fermenting the pink juice. For the 2018 Rose, both the Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon were macerated on skins for 1 hour before being pressed out and fermented. The wine was fermented in stainless steel to preserve the lovely fresh fruit characters, and then bottled in July 2018.
Food Matching
This is a perfect drink for warm afternoons and balmy evenings. Serve it chilled and enjoy the wonderful berry and spice aromas and flavours and beautifully crisp, refreshing finish.
Cellaring Potential
Not a wine for the cellar, just enjoy it served chilled over the warmer months.
