Hare and Tortoise Rosé 2022

This is an intriguing style of Rosé from Victoria, a blend of Sangiovese, Mataro and Merlot, which was pressed off skins to give it a pale pink colour, quite a delightful pink bronze hue, before a cool fermentation in stainless steel tanks through to bone dryness. The nose exhibits appealing notes of spices, dried herbs and florals with red fruits, especially redcurrants. There is the impression of fruit sweetness here, filling out the palate, matched with some zippy acidity. Showing good length, this is a gentle, friendly style which lingers nicely. For drinking now.
