Pipers Tasmania by Pipers Brook Vineyard Rosé 2019

You don’t often see winemakers using fruit from 30 year old vines in their rosé and it shows in this wine which has plenty of depth and complexity. It is a pretty onion skin colour and that attractive side follows though with rose petal and candied cherry aromatic fruits. But look a little deeper and pinot noir’s savoury side is also on show with an edge of earth and spice.

Things get a bit more serious and savoury on the palate where those red fruits have faded leaving a spicy and almost herbal palate given good impact thanks to its Tasmanian trademark of tangy acidity. This is a food style for sure and would make a tasty aperitif with a platter of charcuterie and cheese.
