2025 L.A.S. Albino PNO Rosé
Made from pinot noir & chardonnay grapes grown in forest grove soils over granitic rock. All of the fruit is hand picked, hand sorted, chilled and whole bunch pressed.
A wine fermented with the yeasts from native Australian flowers.
One barrel (10%) was fermented using yeasts from the red flowers of the Australian red-flowering gum (Corymbia ficifolia). A second barrel (10%) was fermented with yeasts from the white flowers of the Rottnest Island tea tree (Melaleuca lanceolata). Two barrels (20%) underwent completely spontaneous natural fermentations, while the remaining portion (60%) was fermented using inoculated yeast. Of this, 20% was fermented in clay, with the balance in oak.
