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.

以澳洲原生花卉酵母發酵而成的高質感粉紅酒。以 Pinot Noir 為主,加入少量 Chardonnay 釀製。酒體帶覆盆子及新鮮香草氣息,口感柔滑富層次,並以清爽酸度平衡。
適合配刺身壽司或 crudo,能襯托酒款明亮清爽的細膩結構,不會掩蓋食材本身的鮮味。清新的酸度可平衡鮮蝦及帶子天然的甜美與細緻豐潤口感。而 Brie 或溫和的軟芝士,可呼應酒中細緻柔滑的奶油感。
