Description
We love this thoroughly satisfying Single Vineyard rosé from Adelaide Hills and gifted winemaker Steve Grimley.
Steve is rightly enthusiastic in describing it: "The colour is beautiful, super bright and icy on the edges. If you grabbed a fresh green apple from the fridge, dipped it in toffee and had the teeth to tuck in, you’ll catch an express to your first sip, likely your second as well. It’s not cuddly soft, likely the extra skin contact has added some phenolic grip, personally I like this, especially when it’s knitted together with some genuine mid palate sweetness that exits before the end." It is delicious!
Steve also mentions: "This is the best wine ever made off Zimmer’s Vineyard and that includes the 2011 which someone like Wine Spectator claimed to be ‘one of the 10 wines you need to try if you think you know Australian Wine’.
Fruit if from a single site of Grenache planted in the 1960’s in super sandy soils. It was hand picked first up in the morning, straight into a pneumatic press, left on skins for the rest of the day before being pressed into tank. Settled then racked with ‘fluffy’ lees before fermenting at <21 C until dry. Only 119.58 Cases botted 11th of June.
