Made from 100% pinot noir grapes hand-harvested from a special parcel selected from the mature vines of Delamere Vineyards which showed exceptional perfume and delicacy. The carefully hand-harvested fruit was soaked on skins at a cool Tasmanian ambient temperature (approximately 15° Celsius) for 36 hours before gentle extraction of the juice for slow fermentation.

The 2012 Delamere Rosé perfectly captures the delicate essence of the pinot noir variety. All aspects of the winemaking process have the aim of retaining as many of the delicate, yet intense aromatic compounds as possible. The resulting wine exudes strawberry and raspberry characters with a hint of star anise-like spice. Excellent depth of flavour with a long juicy palate, it finishes crisp, clean and dry. The wine should be enjoyed chilled over the next two years as an aperitif or with freshly prepared, flavoursome dishes.
