Leeuwin Estate Rosé 2025 - 12 pack $20.50

In their words -  This wine presents a lifted and precise aromatic profile. Initial notes of watermelon rind, rosehip and pink grapefruit are complemented by subtle undertones of fresh raspberry and blood orange. The nose is clean, focused, and varietally expressive.

The palate opens with bright, finely tuned acidity that provides linear drive and tension. Mid-palate texture is supple yet taut, supported by delicate phenolic grip that contributes definition and persistence. Flavours of strawberry skin, red liquorice, cranberry, and pomegranate are interwoven with a subtle savoury nuance, adding depth and complexity. Dry and impeccably balanced, the wine concludes with a crisp, mineral finish and lingering citrus zest notes. A precise, early-drinking style showcasing purity, finesse, and structural harmony — ideal for immediate enjoyment while displaying excellent fruit clarity and composure.

Sourced from selected Shiraz vineyards with a combination of two clones – Waldron, and WA Selection. Each parcel had short term skin contact, before being run off to tank for juice fining, settling, racking and consequent inoculation, there was also 30% barrel fermentation in French oak barriques. Low ferment temperatures for tank components preserved freshness and aromatics, lasting for two weeks, whilst the barrel ferment components bring subtle complexity to the nose and layered textures on the palate. Post fermentation light fining occurred, with complete stabilisation prior to bottling.
