Tasting Notes
Carefully selected shiraz fruit was crushed and allowed to soak on skins for about 8 hours before pressing. The approach to making this wine is the same as for Pinot Gris with cooled ferments in Vosges-forest-sourced oak barrels [20% new] till zero residual sugar. The yeast lees were mixed every 6 to 8 weeks before racking and bottling at 6 months. This wine has spicy and savoury aromas with just a hint of nutty oak. Vibrant fruit and spice with rich mouth-feel envelops the palate leading to a long and balanced finish. A point of clarification: This is a rosé that is a deliberate departure from the lighter frivolous expressions of this wine style. Instead, the complex savoury character and fresh line of acid with bone-dry finish, lends itself as a perfect wine to accompany food and ideally suited to summer dining!
A paradigm shift for Ruth and George Mihaly saw us surrender our established careers in food for Ruth and medical research for George to viticulture and winemaking respectively.
We have always been passionate about food and wine and our obsessive pursuit of quality and commitment to ecologically responsible practices led us to establish our ideal and environmentally sustainable vineyard/home site on the Mornington Peninsula.
The overriding focus is on achieving balanced healthy vines producing carefully selected, exceptional & low yielding fruit.
We therefore have only estate grown wines - showing elegance and intensity ‚– but always a purity of varietal expression for each wine - Riesling, Pinot Gris, Pinot Noir & Shiraz,.. The journey continues,. - Winery Note
