2023 Barossa Valley Rosé
2023 Barossa Valley Rosé
($23.80 Wine Club price)
The 2023 Barossa Valley Rosé was once again sourced from our great friends, Ryan and Sally Fromm. Their vineyards are located in Williamstown, at the southern end of the Barossa Valley. This vineyard has been farmed by the Fromm’s for over 100 years. A blend of old vine Grenache and Mataro from the wonderful 2023 Vintage. This wine is our take on a refreshing, dry, traditionally pale rosé.
Very light salmon pink in colour. Lifted strawberry, summer fruits and flowers dominate the nose with a dry moreish finish. This wine has a wonderful purity, picked early in the 2023 season. Drinking beautifully on release, this wine is best consumed over the coming years with family and friends.

2023 Barossa Valley Rosé
GROWING SEASON
The 2023 Barossa Valley vintage will be remembered as one of the latestvintages in recent memory. After a wet winter our winter rains continued wellinto November, it was certainly unlike any other. This meant the growingseason was off to a slow start, and we never really caught up. The Barossaseason from this point on was almost perfect. Warmer than the 2022 vintage,but cooler than the long term average.
A vintage that will have a split personality, but the great vineyards with the best growers truly excelled, the best wines will be up there with the best we have ever produced. Characterised by the wonderful fruit expression seen in the 2021 vintage combined with the crisp acids seen in the 2022 vintage. The resulting whites look incredible characterised by pure lifted florals on the nose with crisp and clean finishes. The colour and depth of flavour in the reds will match and in some cases exceed that seen in the previous two vintages. Three in a row, who would have thought!

2018 Barossa Valley Rose
2020 Wine Companion (James Halliday)
95 Points - Made from early picked grenache from a very old vineyard in Koonunga. Rose petal aromas, and the bright pale pink colour don't prepare you for the impact of the savoury edge to the core of red fruits making this a great food wine from Chinese to Lebanese, Greek to Indian - the list goes on.

91 Points - The trickle of new 2018 wines is starting to form a stream. A tidy spot of pink delish here from the Barossan hands of Andrew Seppelt.
A riot of red berries and Turkish Delight greet you. Almost leaping from the glass in many respects. A hint of pink flower type aromas flanks the edge. Dry, creamy and smashable probably sum it up best.
Picnics in the sunshine done easy.
Drink now.

2017 Winemaker's Selection Rose
2019 Wine Companion
95 Points - Old vine Grenache, hand-picked, destemmed, open-fermented in a used French hogshead, 28 days on skins, matured for 3 months. 25 dozen made. Fragrant rose petal aromas, backed by spice, introduce a high-quality rose. Bone dry, bright and fresh, with small red berry flavours and lingering aftertaste. Impossible to find any chink in the armour of perfection
