Cabernet Rosé

Castlemaine, VIC

"A ROSE…. made from regeneratively farmed Cabernet grapes grown by us in our Metcalfe vineyard.

We grew some amazing grapes out at Metcalfe in 2025, deepening our commitment to regenerative viticulture, our understanding of the different blocks and the wines we want to make from each parcel. This Rosé represents the first pick of the year and comes from deep granitic sands in the Road Block. Picked early for bright acid, just as fruit flavor is starting to reveal itself. Hand-picked and direct pressed to stainless steel tank for natural fermentation on most solids, with a smaller portion racked off solids and fermented in seasoned puncheons. Resting over winter in tank and barrel, racked early spring with a sulphur addition prior to bottling.

IN THE GLASS…a leaner and fresher offer this year, opting for an earlier pick to capture delicious pink grapefruit acidity for summer joy. It feels like a bit of a serious drink…and it is, but it's also really great company in less lofty, more free and easy times.

Really excited to make a wine like this off our fruit. Hope you like it!"
