James Kalleske Short Stories Barossa Rosé 2022

More evidence of the versatility of Grenache. As well as a crucial part of the GSM blend, here we have an utterly delightful Rosé dominated by this wonderful grape. Again we have a contribution from both Mourvèdre and Shiraz with a little Merlot and Semillon. Gentle pressing is followed by a cool fermentation, for each parcel. The team use different strains of yeast to increase the complexity. Four months ageing on lees and then bottled while still fresh.The colour is a lovely gentle neon pink and there are delightful spicy and floral aromatics. A slightly edgy style with raspberries, a hint of citrus and florals – think rose petals – plus red berries. With good acidity and a lingering finish, this is attractive drinking now.
