Howard Vineyard Selection 400 Rosé 2021

Mt Barker (not the one in Western Australia) is situated at the southern end of the Adelaide Hills and is the biggest town in the region. The vineyards providing the fruit here are located 380 metres above sea level. The juice spends six hours in skin contact, to pick up that lovely pale pink hue. It is “hyper oxidised” to improve the texture. There is a bright, lifted nose here – spices, raspberries and florals. A wine of mid-length with quite vibrant acidity carrying the flavours the full journey. It is a wine where the flavours are very much to the fore as seen on a soft palate and those notes of strawberries are dominant here. A thoroughly enjoyable Rosé for drinking now.
