Brilliant raspberry with magenta hues. The nose shows rich red cherry, raspberries, rose petals and freshly crushed cranberries. Sweet, no it’s not, although with such a fresh lively nose you would expect the usual Australian rose with lollied sweetness – instead we are shown Marco’s love for powerful acidity and well ripened Grenache. We also see some texture from lees contact and more and more fruit flavours that seem to appear out of nowhere, but of course they are not from nowhere but the excellent fruit quality and careful handling. - SG
