dB Selection Rosé (2008)

Region
Australia

Appearance
Cherry red, light crimson

Bouquet
Lifted raspberry, rose petal aroma

Palate
Lively strawberry and tropical palate with a slightly sweet fruit finish

Vintage Conditions
Warmer then usual January nights lead to some varieties reaching maturity earlier then previous years. Late ‘07 rains &  showers in January ensured vines in good health. A cooler February then usual allowed for good fruit development and varietal expression.

Winemaking
Varieties from low yielding vineyards with suitable flavour profiles were selected. Lifted strawberry and cherry fruit characters were identified in the vineyard and conserved throughout the wine making process.
Cool soak of crushed fruit on skins to extract delicate Rosé flavour and colour, followed with a cool fermentation retaining fruit character.
