L.A.S. Vino 2025 Albino PNO Rosé

This is a rosé made from pinot noir & chardonnay grown in forest grove soils over granitic rock. The vineyard sits on the banks of the Wilyabrup river, only kilometres from the Indian Ocean where cool ocean breezes flow up the valley. It’s one of the oldest and last remaining vineyards in Margaret River that contains pinot noir. All fruit was 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.
