Description
Indeed a hedonists' dream – savour a 94pt McLaren Vale Sangiovese pretty and classy in pink!
"No Grenache in the blend this year, but Sangiovese from Beautiful View (formerly Seaview) and the Willunga foothills. An orange-salmon tone in the glass. It’s more savoury than your average rosé. The fruit is there, pristine and pure… so neatly put together and reflective of high-quality fruit. Cherry and cranberry, watermelon, pink grapefruit, a little rose and tamarind. It’s properly dry, enhanced by a silty grip and resolved acidity. This is lovely. 94pts. Great Value” (Marcus Ellis, The Halliday Wine Companion)."A savoury, food-friendly rosé has a concentrated nose that tingles with fairy floss and strawberries-and-cream notes. A palate of pink grapefruit, tamarind, citrus peel and lots of wet stone minerality would pair beautifully with a charcuterie plate."(John Lehmann, The Australian).
Walter Clappis has been making wine in McLaren Vale for nearly 40 years and has won innumerable Trophies and Golds, with fruit sourced from Cooter Vineyard, Whites Valley in the Willunga foothills.
