Thistledown Gorgeous Grenache Rose (South Australia, Australia)

Masters of Wine, Giles Cooke & Fergal Tynan, founded Thistledown Wines in 2010 after discovering iconic vineyard sites in the McLaren Vale, Barossa Valley and Adelaide Hills.  They make hand-made, small-batch wines that perfectly illustrate the benefits of great sites and intelligent, minimalist winemaking.  Fruit for this comes from 2 different old vine fruit sources, one trellised and one bush trained. one hand-picked, one machine picked.  After harvesting the fruit was gently de-stemmed and crushed followed by 3.5 hours on skins to extract minimal colour. This beautifully pale rosé has lovely aromatic wild strawberry and cranberry notes on the nose. The palate is tangy, dry and textural with creamy berry fruit and a deliciously moreish finish. Crafted from old vine Grenache, this racy rosé is a brilliant example of why we think Grenache is so Gorgeous. Ideal as an aperitif or with freshly grilled fish. See more here

The Ned Marlborough Southern Valleys Pinot Rose (Marlborough, New Zealand)
