It was interesting when we got together to do a bench mark tasting of Rosé wines. The result, we decided to use a blend of family related varieties to create a unique blend. Pinot Noir (the sister), Pinot Meunier (the brother) and Pinot Gris (the cousin, as Pinot Gris being a mutation of the Pinot Noir variety).
In making this wine, we searched the Adelaide Hills to find a suitable vineyard that had both Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier planted on the same vineyard. This was important as it allowed us to pick, crush, press and co-ferment Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier together. We later blended a small amount of the Pinot Gris, which rounded off and balanced the finished wine.
Pinot Noir adds ripe strawberry & raspberry. Pinot Meunier fruitiness of sweet ripe plums and the Pinot Gris giving acidity & length. A lovely salmon pink colour. The aroma is a fruit bowl of red stone fruit, peaches and strawberries.
The palate has a lovely fullness of fruit flavours coming from the three varieties of Pinots and finishes with slight drying tannins and excellent balance.
