Estate Rosé 2022

Inviting and rewarding, the Tantalus Rosé shows a deep raspberry colour from extended skin maceration. This Bordeaux inspired blend opens with the aromas of summer berries and is enhanced by traces of exotic spices from the barrel fermented and aged component. Clean, crisp and complex, with flavours of ripe berries and cream that provide great structure and drive. Refreshing, with a lingering finish, makes this wine beautifully versatile for food pairing.

100% whole bunch pressed, very slowly, allowing a gentle maceration to achieve the desired depth of colour and flavour. Cold settled, racked without fining to a stainless steel tank, then innoculated with a selected single yeast strain for a slow fermentation to retain aromatic expression. 30% of the juice was wild fermented in French oak barrels and aged with regular bâtonnage for an extra layer of complexity.
